In response to the White House decision to extend and expand Deferred Enforced Departure for certain Hong Kong residents in the United States, the Office of the Commissioner of Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong has called for Washington to forsake the pipe dream of containing China with Hong Kong, and immediately stop the execrable show of interfering in Hong Kong affairs, while the applicability of the national security legislation in Hong Kong in no way compromises the one country, two systems frameworks, the US has accused Beijing of People suspected of criminal wrongdoing, from street violence to collusion with foreign forces, and who fled to the SAR after the introduction of national security law, are being provided safe haven as freedom fighters worth protection.
It is being used against Beijing by Chinese sovereign rights over the SAR as evidence of it curtailing the SAR's autonomy. What is in the eyes of the mainland authorities is being distorted as a tool of suppression.
Hong Kong's foreign ministry office in Hong Kong stated that Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong, the corresponding memorandum on DED extension and expansion is purely China's domestic affairs, it maliciously attacks the national security law for Hong Kong and China's domestic affairs, and tramples on the basic principles of international law and international relations.
Hong Kong is moving forward steadily on the correct track of 'one country, two systems'. The real purpose of the US memorandum is to provide those who oppose China and disrupt Hong Kong and have a safe havens by manipulating visa policies, which exposes the malicious US intent to destabilize the SAR.
The US is hyping up the consequences of the national security law in Hong Kong to denigrate the legislation. A total of 230 people have been arrested by the SAR police authorities on suspicion of endangering national security. More than 30 have been tried and found guilty in court.
This is in contrast to Washington's claim of continuing and repeated attacks on the protected rights and freedoms cherished by people in Hong Kong. The enactment of national security law has played a significant role in realizing Hong Kong's transition from chaos to governance and continued prosperity, by countering the efforts of outside elements to instigate chaos in the SAR using local proxies.
