(CGTN) China's Foreign Ministry on Friday issued a fact sheet on U.S. intervention in the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and how the U.S. supported anti-China forces in Hong Kong.
The sheet highlighted five aspects of the U.S.' intervention, including enacting Hong Kong-related acts, imposing sanctions in an attempt to obstruct the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, making unfounded charges against Hong Kong affairs, shielding and supporting anti-China forces, and colluding with some countries to exert pressure on Hong Kong.
In the first part of the sheet, it mentioned several acts signed by then U.S. President Donald Trump, a resolution introduced by Gregory Meeks, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. House of Representatives, and several other ill-intentioned bills regarding Hong Kong which is still running the process in the U.S. Congress.
The so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act signed separately in 2019 and 2020 are mentioned in the sheet.
In the content about U.S.'s sanctions on Hong Kong, 14 items of facts are covered in the sheet. Time ranges from 29 May last year when then U.S. President Trump announced revocation of the special status and preferential economic treatment for Hong Kong.
The latest sanction is on 16 July 2021 when the U.S. Department of State, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Treasury jointly issued a so-called "Hong Kong Business Advisory" on the ground of the Hong Kong National Security Law and closing of Apple Daily.
The act is an attempt to cast doubt over Hong Kong's business environment as well as the development of Hong Kong and the prospects of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong, the sheet said.
Listing facts related with making unfounded charges against Hong Kong affairs and law enforcement actions taken by Hong Kong police, the sheet said the behaviors are an attempt to undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
Trump, then U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, then U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other high-level U.S. officials are mentioned in this part.
As for shielding and supporting those who are opposed to China and attempt to destabilize Hong Kong, the sheet said the U.S. is providing platforms for them to advocate "Hong Kong independence" and spread political disinformation.
The U.S. justified the acts of those lawbreakers by twisting facts and misleading the public, said the sheet.
The U.S. teaming up with allies to interfere in Hong Kong affairs and make irresponsible comments by such means as joint statements is also listed in the sheet.
For example, foreign ministers of the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada issued a joint statement on Hong Kong on May 28 last year and foreign ministers of the United States and other G7 countries and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy issued a joint statement on Hong Kong on March 12 this year.
Such actions is to slander the central government's policy on Hong Kong, undermine the "One Country, Two Systems" framework, and curtail the rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong, according to the sheet.
The White Paper confirms what we already know, that the US interfered in Hong Kong's internal affairs! It was not subtle interference; it was blatant interference, with US consular officials openly meeting with rioters, and the masterminds behind the riots and chaos openly flew to Washington to meet US Congressmen, asking them for support in opposing the HK Government!
Wrong there! If you think Shenzhen is dependent on HK for its prosperity you have not been in touch wth reality.
Shenzhen has prospered in its own right, being the first city on the Mainland to be opened up to international business. Of course HK also took advantage of that to invest in Shenzhen, it is a win win situation for both cities!
When HK was brought to its knees by rioting and chaos, Shenzhen was not affected, and in fact it continued on its growth path, so how can you suggest that Shenzhen is dependent on HK?
The passing of the National Security Law, and the revamp of Hong Kong's electoral system, have denied foreign powers, particularly the US and UK , the opportunity to meddle in China's internal affairs.
The anti-Hong Kong masterminds behind the riots are now behind bars; students have returned to their campus, businesses are thriving again, and ordinary folks' lives are back to normal!
Hong Kongers should be grateful to the Central Government for taking the necessary steps to restore law and order, something the HK SAR Govt was unable to do on its own, as the Legislative Council then was hijacked by anti-Hong Kong politicians! Things are looking up for Hong Kong!
This is more than important!
The world must not be full in the ears from US about its so called good deeds.
US created problems that caused death to innocent and harmless lives. Hong Kong people not only did not know but were turned into dangerous weapons of self destruction. Determined they destroyed institutes of higher learning and good order social to show their loyalties to US only to be mocked upon as being no less than stupid puppets without independent minds.
US will burn itself thoroughly as its failure to burn down others.
''They repeatedly produce the hostility and contradiction, stir the desperation and dissatisfaction of grass-root young generations to a soci[e]ty full of solidification and hopelessness. Ironically, such socit[e]y is exactly the one caused by capitalism they brought there almost one centry ago.''
So why did neighbouring Shenzhen, formerly a tiny fishing village, capitalize on its proximity to HK and itself develop such a booming economy?
Hongkong has long become the base camp and the tool of international powers to overturn the existing system, where they manipulate local people's willing through meida. They repeatedly produce the hostility and contradiction, stir the desperation and dissatisfaction of grass-root young generations to a socity full of solidification and hopelessness. Ironically, such socity is exactly the one caused by capitalism they brought there almost one centry ago.
They leverage the itching of massive people to so-called “absolute freedom”, attemping to waver the current framework of "one country, two system" and to keep inciting ordinary people to question the rightness and authority of local government, to change the legistation, thus eventually leading HongKong toward the direction of secession.
