On July 1, 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference

Bloomberg reporter: You just mentioned the British and the United States' criticism of the situation in Hong Kong.British Prime Minister Johnson said last night that the behavior of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government violated the Sino -British Joint Statement, which is the basis for the return and drafting the Basic Law of Hong Kong in Hong Kong.What's your opinion?

Zhao Lijian: China has repeatedly explained its position on the "Sino -British Joint Statement".Hong Kong is Hong Kong, China, and no external forces have no right to interfere.The British has no sovereignty, no governance, no supervision power, and there is no so -called "commitment" at all.The British side repeatedly told the "Sino -British Joint Statement", which will only expose their dull and outdated colonial mentality and the dangerous charges of discrediting the image of Hong Kong under the banner of "human rights".The British side should face up to the 25 -year reality of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, objectively and fairly treat Hong Kong's development, respect China's sovereignty and unity, stop interfered with Hong Kong affairs and Chinese internal affairs, and do not cause trouble for Sino -British relations.
