The Central Government has made a strong stand against foreign interference in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's (HKSAR) judicial affairs, emphasizing that external attempts to meddle are futile. 🚫🌍
On Thursday, the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR expressed firm support for the region's judicial organs in punishing actions that endanger national security. A spokesperson highlighted that some countries, including the United States, are overgeneralizing and abusing the concept of national security, openly shielding and beautifying criminals.
\"They've tried coercion and intimidation, but they've never shaken our will and determination to safeguard national security according to law,\" the spokesperson declared.
The spokesperson underscored that the so-called \"primary election\" organized by Benny Tai Yiu-ting and other defendants in the \"conspiracy to subvert state power\" case was an organized, premeditated, consensual, and large-scale criminal activity aimed at subverting state power.
\"We remain committed to fully and accurately implementing the principle of 'one country, two systems',\" the spokesperson affirmed. \"We will unswervingly support the HKSAR in implementing the national security law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.\"
The Central Government's stance sends a clear message that safeguarding national security is paramount, and external interference won't deter Hong Kong's commitment to the rule of law. 💪🏽⚖️
