The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission again grossly distorted the truth, made unwarranted remarks on Hong Kong in its annual report and pointed fingers at China's internal affairs as a whole. The spokesperson of the Commissioner's Office expressed strong disapproval of and firm opposition to the report.

The spokesperson pointed out that the report is full of lies and biases. When it comes to Hong Kong, it turns a blind eye to the escalating crime by the black-clad rioters, and says nothing about the fact that innocent citizens have been assaulted, Hong Kong's prosperity and stability damaged, and the rule of law trampled upon. On the contrary, it fires allegations at the SAR Government's just efforts to govern in accordance with the law, protect citizens' rights and maintain law and order, and even accuses the Central Government of "intervening in Hong Kong's affairs". The report has confounded right with wrong, has no credibility whatsoever, and is an epitome of hegemonic mindset and gangster logic.

The spokesperson said that in intimidating the SAR and relevant businesses and individuals by suggesting enacting legislation, the report has laid bare the evil intention of anti-China forces in the US to endorse the troublemakers in Hong Kong, cheer the violent radicals, and prolong the unrest in the city. The report has provided more solid evidence that the anti-China forces in the US are exactly the black hand behind the chaos in Hong Kong, who have been caught on the spot.

The spokesperson emphasized that Hong Kong is part of China, and its affairs are completely China's internal affairs. The Chinese government is rock-firm in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, in implementing the policy of "One Country, Two Systems", and in opposing any foreign interference in Hong Kong affairs. We again urge the relevant American politicians to immediately stop meddling with Hong Kong affairs. China's territory is not somewhere foreign forces can run wild.
