Q "** Spokesperson's Office" News, at the regular press conference on December 18, a reporter from "Beijing Youth Daily" asked: On the 15th, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement saying that the US side opposes China's use of bounties to threaten and harass "liberal democrats", and urges the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to respect the rights and freedoms protected in the Basic Law. What is China's response to this?
A. Wang Wenbin: We firmly oppose the US blatantly slandering the Hong Kong National Security Law and interfering with the rule of law in the HKSAR.
The fact that the fugitive anti-China and destabilizing elements suspected of endangering the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is based on the facts and the law, and that he is wanted in accordance with the law, which is in line with international law and international practice, and is a just move. The *** laws enacted by the United States also have extraterritorial effect. The US support for those who destabilize Hong Kong is not only a gross violation of the spirit of the rule of law, but also exposes the double standards that the US has always pursued on the issues of human rights and the rule of law.
Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and brook no interference by any external forces. We urge the US side to reflect on itself, earnestly respect China's sovereignty and the rule of law in Hong Kong, and refrain from being a safe haven for criminals. China is firmly determined to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and development interests, and any attempt to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs and undermine the rule of law in Hong Kong will never succeed.
