The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government said it strongly disapproves of and firmly rejects the untruthful remarks, slanders and smears against Hong Kong in the 2023 report issued by the US-China Economic & Security Review Commission.

It also stressed that it strongly disapproves of and firmly rejects the commission’s manoeuvre with politics prevailing over the rule of law and its interference with the Hong Kong SAR’s affairs.

As Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China, it made it clear that it will continue, in accordance with the law, to effectively prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities that endanger national security, and safeguard the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong people.

Moreover, it strongly urged certain US politicians to immediately stop acting against international law and the basic norms that govern international relations, and cease from interfering in the affairs of the Hong Kong SAR, which are purely China’s internal affairs.

Separately, the Hong Kong SAR Government noted that under “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong enjoys the strong support of the motherland while being closely connected to the world. With this unparalleled connectivity, it said Hong Kong will continue to play its unique role as a super-connector and super value-adder.

With the motherland’s strong support, as well as the wide room for development brought about by the National 14th Five-Year Plan, Greater Bay Area development and Belt & Road high-quality development, the city embraces unlimited business opportunities, the Hong Kong SAR Government pointed out.

It added that it will create strong impetus for growth at full steam, forge a better integration of a capable government and an efficient market, and proactively compete for enterprises and talent to strengthen the city’s competitiveness, with a view to steadily advancing from stability to prosperity.
