In a recent statement, the Chinese embassy in the United Kingdom strongly condemned comments by the Group of Seven (G7) regarding law enforcement in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). 🇬🇧🔊
A spokesperson branded the G7's viewpoints as "erroneous remarks" and accused a small group of countries, including the UK, of meddling in China's internal affairs. "We strongly condemn such remarks," the spokesperson said.
The backlash follows the G7's reaction to arrest warrants issued on July 25 by the Hong Kong Police Force against 19 alleged anti-China disruptors. The embassy reaffirmed its full support for the Hong Kong SAR government and the police to act "in accordance with the law." ⚖️👮♂️
Calling out what it sees as "double standards and hypocrisy" on human rights, the embassy warned that interference only strengthens Hong Kong's resolve to govern by law and punish crime. "We once again urge the relevant countries to stop fabricating excuses for shielding criminals and to cease interfering in China's internal affairs," it added.
As tensions rise, all eyes are on how the Hong Kong SAR will navigate its legal framework amid international scrutiny. Stay tuned for more updates! 🔍🌏
