The US is keen on creating chaos in Hong Kong
Print Edition
Shortly after Hong Kong鈥檚 legislature passed a bill amending the electoral laws recently, Washington issued interfering remarks to malign Hong Kong鈥檚 efforts to put an end to violence and political chaos and get the global financial hub back on track.
The groundless accusation is the latest US flagrant smearing against the local legislation on improving the electoral system in Hong Kong, and has again exposed Washington鈥檚 hegemonic thinking and its ulterior motives to sow trouble in Hong Kong.
It must be stressed that China is a country with the rule of law. The comprehensive completion of this local legislation is an important measure to follow through on the relevant decision of the National People鈥檚 Congress and the spirit of the amendments made by the NPC Standing Committee.
It must also be stressed that Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, and issues related to Hong Kong, including the reform of the local electoral system, are purely China鈥檚 internal affairs.
Therefore, US politicians鈥 finger-pointing over Hong Kong鈥檚 efforts to fine-tune its election system is a gross interference in China鈥檚 domestic affairs and a serious violation of the principles of the international law and the basic norms of international relations.
For some time, some anti-China forces and radical separatist forces have taken advantage of loopholes in Hong Kong鈥檚 electoral system to create social unrest and even seek to seize the right to govern Hong Kong.
The new bill will plug the loopholes in the previous electoral system, reaffirm the new order of 鈥減atriots administering Hong Kong,鈥 and enable the democratic system of Hong Kong to move forward steadily along the sound and orderly track.
It will also provide more solid guarantee to achieving good governance in Hong Kong, and better uphold national sovereignty, security and development interests and Hong Kong鈥檚 prosperity and stability in the long run.
For a long time, some US politicians and US media have blatantly launched a smear campaign against China by deliberately distorting facts about issues related to Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Though professing to care about democracy and freedoms in Hong Kong, their real intention is to exploit these issues to obstruct China鈥檚 development.
No wonder they have never spoken up for the victims of wanton vandalism committed by rioters in the unrest, never shown regard for the shared aspiration of Hong Kong people for stability and development, and never truly cared about the well-being of ordinary citizens of Hong Kong. Instead, they are always in a frenzy to fan the flames and sow discord in Hong Kong, leaving one the impression that their motto is 鈥渨orse is better鈥 when it comes to Hong Kong鈥檚 stability and prosperity.
No one cares more about the future of Hong Kong, which is part of China, than the central government of China. That is why the National Security Law for Hong Kong and the new electoral system were introduced in the first place.
The good news for the world is that China will unswervingly adhere to the 鈥渙ne China, two systems鈥 policy and vigorously endeavor to ensure Hong Kong鈥檚 stability and prosperity.
The bad news for those anti-China forces who wish Hong Kong and China at large ill is that their sinister desire is doomed to failure.
