Chinese people will not be intimidated by any threats
By
People's Daily
The U.S.
has signed the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 into
law recently regardless of the solemn representations and strong opposition
from China.
The U.S.
move has seriously interfered in the Hong Kong affairs and the internal affairs
of China, and violated the international law and the basic norms governing
international relations.
The
Chinese government strongly opposes such barefaced hegemony and the Chinese
people will not be intimidated by any threats. Any attempt to interfere in
China's internal affairs is doomed to fail.
For over
five months, radical protesters have committed violent crimes in Hong Kong,
trampling on the rule of law and social order, undermining the prosperity and
stability of Hong Kong and challenging the "one country, two systems"
policy of China.
The
rioters have smashed buildings, committed arson, paralyzed the traffic,
attacked the police and assaulted innocent citizens, pushing Hong Kong to the
edge of an abyss and endangering the basic rights and freedom of Hong Kong
residents.
Facts
have shown that the anti-China forces in the U.S. have been manipulating the
Hong Kong activists from the behind scenes to cause chaos in Hong Kong.
To attain
their sinister political goals, the U.S. Congress and some politicians have now
even come up on stage without scruple. Under the guise of human rights and
democracy, they have made remarks that confused right and wrong and confounded
black and white, and viciously created and approved the Hong Kong Human Rights
and Democracy Act of 2019.
Ignoring
stern representations and strong opposition from the Chinese side, the U.S. has
now signed the act into law. By blatantly encouraging and backing up violent
protesters in Hong Kong, the U.S. has grossly interfered in China's domestic
affairs and severely damaged the common and fundamental interests of the
majority of Hong Kong compatriots.
The
series of evil misdeeds have set the U.S. side against the over seven million
Hong Kong residents, the 1.4 billion Chinese people, the principles of justice
and righteousness in the world and the basic norms governing international
relations.
What the
U.S. has done once again exposed its undue double standard and hypocritical
hegemony. It has tried to interfere in the internal affairs of China with its
domestic law, yet it claimed to support democracy. While ignoring the damage
caused by the violent protesters in Hong Kong, the U.S. dares to consider itself
defender of human rights.
By
beautifying the anti-humanity rioters as pursuing human rights and democracy
and fueling the violence and chaos in Hong Kong, the U.S. seeks to undermine
Hong Kong's stability and prosperity, sabotage the practice of "one country,
two systems" principle, and disrupt the Chinese nation's endeavor to
realize the great rejuvenation. Its egregious and malicious nature is seen by
all.
We
Chinese people do not believe in heresies, neither are we terrified by them; we
do not make trouble, neither are we afraid of it. Looking back on the history
of the People's Republic of China, the U.S. will find out that external threats
do not intimidate the Chinese people and only prompt them to be more united;
external pressure can never overwhelm the Chinese nation and will only make it
more clear to them the nature of hegemony.
Hong
Kong's prosperity and stability, and China's development achievements are not a
gift from others, but the outcome of the hard work of the Chinese people.
The U.S.
side and a few Hong Kong opposition politicians who follow Washington's lead
should not underestimate China's firm determination to defend the prosperity
and stability of Hong Kong, the country’s strong will to implement the
"one country, two systems" principle, and its ability and measures to
safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.
The U.S.
attempts to interfere in China's internal affairs are bound to fail. Hong Kong
is China's Hong Kong and a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong
affairs are purely China's internal affairs and the China will not allow any
external forces to do whatever they want in Hong Kong.
The
Chinese government has unswerving determination to protect national
sovereignty, security and development interests, implement the "one
country, two systems" policy and oppose any external force in interfering
in Hong Kong's affairs.
China
will continue to firmly implement the "one country, two systems"
principle, support the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) chief
executive in leading the HKSAR government to govern in accordance with the law,
support Hong Kong police in law enforcement, and support Hong Kong judicial
agencies in punishing violent criminals in accordance with the law.
Any tricks
that attempt to undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability and hinder
China's development will never work.
Any
external coercion or pressure will not subdue the 1.4 billion Chinese people,
including Hong Kong compatriots, and no force can ever hold back the
rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
No
country should assume that China will trade its core interests for benefits,
and no one should expect China to swallow the bitter fruit that undermines
sovereignty, security and development interests.
China urges the U.S. not to continue
going down the wrong path, or it will take effective countermeasures and the
U.S. must bear all the consequences.
Chinese people will not be intimidated by any threats
