The spokesman of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council said in a statement on December 21 that the foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and other "five eye alliance" countries issued the so-called "joint statement", unreasonably attacked the election of the seventh Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, wantonly slandered Hong Kong's national security law and the new electoral system, fully exposed their concern about the falsity of Hong Kong's democracy and freedom, and interfered in China's internal affairs It is true to undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. We express strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. The spokesman said that the remarks of foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and other "five eye alliance" countries were full of lies and slander. The implementation of Hong Kong's national security law has rebuilt the rule of law and order, improved the business environment, restored a peaceful life, and put economic and social development back on track. The new electoral system implements the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", increases the Democratic component of elections, enriches the forms of democracy, widens the space for Hong Kong residents to participate in extensive and balanced politics, and is widely representative, politically inclusive, balanced participation and fair competition. It is the optimization and improvement of Hong Kong's democratic system and keeps pace with the times. The just concluded seventh Legislative Council election process was open and transparent. Candidates from different backgrounds, political opinions and occupations competed fully and freely. More than one million voters participated enthusiastically and actively exercised their democratic rights. The 90 members of parliament elected according to law represent the interests of all walks of life, all strata and the overall interests of society. They love China and Hong Kong and are "colorful". It is a successful practice in implementing the new electoral system. This is a fact that any unbiased person can feel. The so-called "weakening democratic elements" and "rejecting opposition voices" are completely the malicious distortion, slander and slander of a few politicians in the United States, Britain and other countries based on ideological prejudice. They are groundless and worthless! The spokesman said that for some time, politicians from the United States, Britain and a few other western countries have held the so-called "democracy summit" under the banner of "democracy" to provide a political performance platform for anti China and Hong Kong disorderly elements, openly and secretly support their incitement and boycott of elections, and make indiscriminate accusations against Hong Kong's judicial organs in trying cases involving Hong Kong's national security law according to law. As soon as the election was over, they could not wait to get together, attack and discredit the Legislative Council election, support and cheer up the Anti China and Hong Kong elements and complain about their grievances. Countless facts have shown that the United States, Britain and other countries are not concerned about democracy and freedom in Hong Kong at all, but about democracy and freedom that support their political agents to make waves in Hong Kong after seizing power. It is democracy and freedom that uses Hong Kong to split, infiltrate, subvert and sabotage the mainland. Numerous facts also show that external forces such as the United States and Britain and their vassals in Hong Kong are the culprits that undermine and hinder the democratic development of Hong Kong. Their impatient clamor is the irrefutable evidence of interfering with and undermining the democratic development of Hong Kong. It is the so-called "do not attack yourself"! The spokesman pointed out that the true meaning of democracy is to seek happiness for the people. Only democracy that conforms to its own reality and can solve problems is good democracy and true democracy. The election process and results of the Hong Kong Legislative Council fully show that the new electoral system is conducive to shaping a rational and pragmatic political culture, creating an election atmosphere of fair competition, improving the relationship between the executive and the legislature, improving governance efficiency, promoting good governance, and promoting the resolution of deep-seated contradictions and problems in the economy and people's livelihood of Hong Kong. It is a broad, real and effective democracy. On the contrary, the United States, Britain and other countries have long become "poor students" in the democratic classroom, but they want to be "teachers". Their own democracy is full of holes and their human rights situation is full of bad deeds, but they often wave the big stick of democracy and human rights as a tool and weapon to interfere in other countries' internal affairs and curb their development. It is clear at a glance who is engaged in true democracy and who is engaged in false democracy! Finally, the spokesman stressed that the white paper "democratic development in Hong Kong under" one country, two systems "issued by the Information Office of the State Council on the 20th clearly stated that" one country, two systems "provides a fundamental guarantee for the democratic development of Hong Kong. The Chinese government is the designer, founder, defender and promoter of the democratic system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the guardian of the fundamental interests of all Hong Kong citizens. Today, Hong Kong has awakened from the painful lessons of the past, abandoned the myth of blindly pursuing western style democracy, and embarked on the broad road of developing high-quality democracy in line with Hong Kong's reality. No matter how loud and bad the external forces and the Anti China and Hong Kong chaos elements they feed can shake the determination of the Chinese government to unswervingly, comprehensively and accurately implement "one country, two systems", reverse the general trend of Hong Kong from chaos to governance, governance and prosperity, and stop the progress of Hong Kong's development of a democratic system in line with its own reality.
