U.S. Interference

A spokesperson for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council condemned the passing of the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 by the U.S. House of Representatives on October 16.

The lower house of Congress passed the act on October 15, despite strong opposition from the Chinese Government.

The spokesperson, Yang Guang, said the move was a gross interference in China’s internal affairs, a blatant backing of violent radicals, and a full revelation of the U.S. House of Representatives’ and other politicians’ attempt to contain the development of China by playing the Hong Kong card.

The disturbance, originating from proposed ordinance amendments, has become more violent, inescapably related to overt and covert support from the U.S. for anti-china troublemakers in Hong Kong, Yang said.

U.S. house members and other politicians have turned a blind eye to violent crimes by Hong Kong mobs, confused right and wrong and confounded black with white, Yang said.

Since Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, the policies of “one country, two systems,” the people of Hong Kong governing Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have been faithfully implemented, and the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents have been fully protected in accordance with the law, Yang said.

“We advise the U.S. Congress and other politicians to respect facts and immediately stop the subsequent review of the so-called act to avoid heaping error upon error,” Yang said. “Hong Kong would be more prosperous and stable without U.S. interference.”
