mao ning said that china has always opposed the uk's irresponsible remarks on hong kong affairs through the so-called "half-year report". since hong kong's return to china, the practice of "one country, two systems" in hong kong has achieved universally recognized success. the formulation and implementation of the hong kong national security law and the national security ordinance and the improvement of the hong kong special administrative region's electoral system have effectively promoted hong kong's transition from chaos to order and entered a new stage of prosperity from order. hong kong's security and democracy, the freedom and rights of the people are more effectively protected, and its development prospects are brighter.
"hong kong affairs are purely china's internal affairs. the british side should respect the basic fact that hong kong has returned to china for 27 years and stop interfering in hong kong affairs," said mao ning.
according to reports, on september 12, local time, the british government published the so-called "hong kong issue half-yearly report" for the 55th time, smearing "one country, two systems", slandering the hong kong national security law and the national security ordinance, and grossly interfering in hong kong affairs and china's internal affairs. in response, the spokesperson of the commissioner's office of the ministry of foreign affairs in hong kong strongly condemned it and stressed that after hong kong's return, the legal basis for the chinese government to govern the hong kong special administrative region is the chinese constitution and the hong kong basic law, not the sino-british joint declaration.
