In a bold move 🌟, China has urged the UK to back off from Hong Kong affairs, calling out what's seen as unwelcome meddling. 🇨🇳🤝🇬🇧
On Tuesday, Lin Jian, spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, didn't mince words during the daily press briefing. When asked about the UK's recent six-monthly report on Hong Kong, Lin reminded everyone that it's been nearly 27 years since Hong Kong returned to China. Time flies, right? ⏳
\"The so-called report issued by the UK disregards and distorts facts, grossly interferes in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs, and gravely violates the principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations,\" Lin stated firmly.
He added, \"China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to this.\"
Lin highlighted that since Hong Kong's return, the Chinese government has been all about the \\"One Country, Two Systems\\" principle, ensuring Hong Kong residents enjoy a high degree of autonomy. 🏙️✨
With the implementation of the Law on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Lin noted that a solid barrier for national security has been set up. 🛡️
He emphasized that the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents are better protected than ever, boosting their happiness and sense of security. 😊🔒
\"Hong Kong has entered its best period for making all-out efforts for economic development,\" Lin said. He pointed out that Hong Kong's role as an international financial, shipping, and trading center is rock solid, with a bright future ahead. 🌆🚢💰
