According to the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom answered reporters' questions on the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Development meeting with Jimmy Lai's son.
Reporter: According to reports, on December 12, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron met with Jimmy Lai's son Lai Chong-yan, and said that the UK opposes the Hong Kong National Security Law and will continue to support Jimmy Lai and other Hong Kong people. Do you have any comment on this?
Embassy Spokesperson: We firmly oppose the support and encouragement of British politicians for Jimmy Lai, the leading anti-China destabilizing activist in Hong Kong, and strongly condemn the UK's heinous act of interfering with the rule of law in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China.
Jimmy Lai is the main planner and instigator of the anti-China and destabilizing incident in Hong Kong, and he blatantly colluded with external forces to endanger self-respect and commit many evil acts. The British side's blatant interference in the cases that have entered the judicial process and justify the illegal and criminal anti-China and destabilizing elements in Hong Kong has further exposed the true features of Jimmy Lai's long-term collusion with the British side and the British side's connivance and support for anti-China and destabilizing activities in Hong Kong, and further proves that the prosecution of Jimmy Lai by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China** is completely in accordance with the law, reasonable, and lawful.
China solemnly demands that the UK respect facts and the rule of law, stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and refrain from going further down the wrong path.
