[global times-global network reporter li meng] at the regular press conference of the ministry of foreign affairs on september 9, a reporter asked that the us government issued a so-called "updated hong kong business warning" on the 6th, saying that the hong kong national security law and the hong kong "safeguarding national security ordinance" that came into effect in march further eroded hong kong's basic freedoms and human rights. american companies are increasingly facing the same risks in their operations in hong kong as in mainland china. what is china's comment on this?

in this regard, spokesman mao ning said that the us has concocted the so-called "updated hong kong business warning", unreasonably slandered hong kong's national security law and smeared hong kong's business environment. china firmly opposes this and strongly condemns it. after the introduction of the hong kong national security law and the "national security ordinance", hong kong's rule of law and business environment have become better, and the foundation for long-term prosperity and stability has been further consolidated.

mao ning said that according to the latest report of the hong kong special administrative region government, in the first half of this year, the number of newly established local companies and non-local companies registered in hong kong hit a record high. the "2024 world competitiveness yearbook" shows that hong kong's competitiveness ranks fifth in the world. last year, hong kong attracted the fourth largest amount of foreign direct investment in the world. hong kong is the world's tenth largest commodity trading economy. the united states should respect objective facts, respect china's sovereignty and the rule of law in hong kong, and be cautious in words and deeds on issues related to hong kong.
