US interference in Hong Kong affairs reveals hegemony

Sovereignty
equality and non-interference in each other’s internal affairs are basic principles
of contemporary international law and basic norm of modern international
relations.
However,
for a period of time, some US politicians interfered in China's domestic
affairs amid the recent protests in Hong Kong despite China’s solemn position,
frequently making irresponsible remarks and improper comments on the Hong Kong
affairs and stirring troubles in the city.
What’s
worse, almost all government departments of the US moved to put pressure on China
and China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) in an
attempt to roil the city and make it a bargain chip against China.
These US
politicians are purely calling white black and seeking hegemony. For the last
few days, they did all they could to defame the Hong Kong police who held fast
to their duties, responded to the violence with restraint and strove to
safeguard rule of law and the social order of Hong Kong, which presented a
sharp contrast to their ignorance on the lawless violence of the radicals and
Hong Kong’s mainstream public opinion of stopping violence and restoring order.
On top
of that, they described the violent crimes as efforts to pursue human rights
and freedom, slammed the Hong Kong SAR government, and threatened to advance
the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and link the progress of
the Sino-US economic and trade negotiations to the Hong Kong affairs. Such big
and rude acts of interfering in another country’s internal affairs were never
seen before.
These US
politicians have confused right and wrong, and attempted to plunge Hong Kong
into turmoil. They met with the protest leaders time and again, supported the
violent radicals and their illegal acts, and flagrantly disrupted Hong Kong’s prosperity
and stability.
As a
matter of fact, they are fully aware of the violent radicals’ acts to trample
on the rule of law and disturb the social order of Hong Kong.
It is a
worldwide consensus that violence is toxic for a society ruled by law, and
turbulence is a nightmare for development and prosperity. These US politicians
will never tolerate those who trample on the rule of law and disrupt the social
order in their own country. However, they will never do the same when it comes
to other countries.
On Hong
Kong affairs, these US politicians praised “the extraordinary outpouring of
courage from people of Hong Kong”, and even incited the violent radicals to
cross the red line.
Some of
them called the demonstrations in Hong Kong “a beautiful sight to behold”,
slandered that “Beijing tries to encroach on Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedom”,
and publicly described the US diplomats’ meeting with anti-China rioters as “
what American diplomats do every single day around the world."
Such
blatant attempt to harbor the radicals and connive in their lawless activities
is to openly incite violent confrontation. By doing so, some US politicians
fully exposed their pride, prejudices, hypocrisy, cold-bloodedness, selfishness
and rudeness.
What
they have said and done is insupportable even for some western media. As a
German press noted, the US administration’s interference in Hong Kong affairs
with the hauteur of an empire has violated the international convention.
Interfering in the domestic affairs of other
countries is the root cause of worldwide turmoil, and the US is globally
notorious for such tricks.
In the past decades, the US created a series of “color revolutions” that dragged many countries
and regions into the mire of political unrest and economic stagnation and left
numerous people homeless.
Hong
Kong people should be fully aware of the ruse given what has happened to the
world and the current circumstance in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is part of China. Its future and fate
is in the hands of the entire Chinese people including the Hong Kong
compatriots.
Those who assume to manipulate Hong Kong’s future and turn the
city’s
prosperity and stability, as well as the wellbeing of seven million Hong Kong
people into the bargaining chips have underestimated the determination and will
of China’s
central government and Chinese people to safeguard the country’s fundamental interests.
They have also underrated the country’s powerful force of
righteousness to protect Hong Kong’s rule of law and stability.
Those US politicians are warned to stop
interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China’s domestic affairs. Otherwise, they will face
severe confrontation from the entire Chinese people including Hong Kong
compatriots.
