US leaders鈥 reaction to HK police draws flak
Print Edition
The Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Saturday expressed strong disapproval of and firm opposition against some American politicians and institutions criticizing the Hong Kong police鈥檚 legal action against a district councilor suspected of violating the law.
A spokesperson of the commissioner鈥檚 office said that the politicians have shown no regard for the law and facts, mentioning nothing about the suspect鈥檚 incitement to violence and hatred, heaping groundless accusations instead upon the HKSAR government and police safeguarding law and justice, and trying to smear the central government鈥檚 Hong Kong policy.
Their remarks have constituted a flagrant interference with Hong Kong鈥檚 rule of law and judicial independence, the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson highlighted that the rule of law is a core value of Hong Kong.
鈥淓veryone is equal before the law, and every effort is made to ensure laws are observed and strictly enforced and lawbreakers are prosecuted. No demand can ever justify crime, and no position can shield one from the law.
鈥淏y condoning and endorsing criminal acts without scruples and politicizing a judicial issue, the American politicians have only again exposed their entrenched ideological biases, double standards and insidious intent to mess up Hong Kong. But the international community has seen through their absurd logic and hypocrisy long ago, and their plots are doomed to be thwarted.鈥
