HONG KONG, Oct. 31 -- The Office of Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) expressed on Thursday strong disapproval of and firm opposition against Britain's constant interference in Hong Kong affairs.

In response to Britain's release of another "Six-Monthly Report on Hong Kong," the spokesperson of the commissioner's office pointed out that Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and opposed Britain's constant interference in Hong Kong affairs with such reports.

The policies of "one country, two systems" and "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" with a high degree of autonomy have been earnestly implemented over the past 22 years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, a fact that anyone if not politically biased will acknowledge, the spokesperson reiterated.

The spokesperson pointed out that the report has confounded right with wrong, failed to distinguish the SAR government's law-based governance and the police's law enforcement efforts from the crime committed by violent extremists, and endorsed the opposition and violent demonstrators in Hong Kong between the lines.

It runs counter to the mainstream public opinion in Hong Kong calling for stopping violence, ending the chaos, and restoring law and order, to Britain's responsibility to respect China's sovereignty and the "one country, two systems" principle, and to the fundamental interests of all international stakeholders in Hong Kong, the spokesperson said.

"We have repeatedly reminded Britain, which keeps pointing fingers citing the Sino-British Joint Declaration, that all rights and obligations concerning it under the instrument were fulfilled on July 1, 1997. Britain has no sovereignty, jurisdiction or right of 'supervision' over and no obligation to Hong Kong since then," the spokesperson said.

"Therefore, it is overreaching itself in making unwarranted remarks about Hong Kong affairs on the pretext of the declaration."

"We urge the relevant British politicians to rid themselves of the outdated colonialist mindset, respect China's sovereignty, abide by basic norms governing international relations, and stop meddling with Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs as a whole," the spokesperson said.
