The YouTube video account set up by Li Jiachao, the candidate for the election of the sixth chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, for the election was blocked recently. Google (Google) argued that it must abide by the "sanctions" law of the United States. A spokesman for the Hong Kong SAR government expressed firm opposition and indignation to this on the 21st. The spokesman said that the HKSAR Government and all sectors of society are strongly opposed to and deeply indignant at the interference of foreign forces in Hong Kong affairs for any reason and in any way, including undermining the freedom of speech, the freedom of information dissemination and the fair and just order of the Internet, which affect the smooth holding of the election of the sixth chief executive of the HKSAR. The spokesman pointed out that the so-called "sanctions" of the United States directly interfere in China's internal affairs. The international community should face the facts squarely and stop any interference in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs. The spokesman stressed that the central government's improvement of the SAR election system has provided a solid guarantee for the full implementation of the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong". The general election of the subsector of the SAR election committee and the general election of the Legislative Council have been successfully held in September and December 2021 respectively. The SAR government will, as always, make every effort to ensure that the election of the sixth chief executive of the SAR will be held smoothly on May 8, 2022 under the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness.
