Print Edition
CHINA’S central government yesterday said it supports the Hong Kong government and police’s decision to clear the Occupy protest sites.
It “fully agrees with and firmly supports” the decision to end the illegal activities, thereby maintaining social order and safeguarding the rule of law, the State Council Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a statement.
“We have noticed that the clearance operation was well received and welcomed by the residents of Hong Kong,” the statement said.
It reiterated that the central government will continue implementing the “one country, two systems” policy and the Basic Law as well as supporting Hong Kong’s democratic progress.
“We hope that Hong Kong’s society will engage in rational and pragmatic discussions and build consensus about its political development within the boundaries of the Basic Law and decisions adopted by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress,” it said.
