鄧炳強：香港有高度學術自由 人權觀察有關報告刻意抹黑
The HKSAR Government strongly condemned and opposed the so-called reports on the state of academic freedom in Hong Kong published by Human Rights Watch and the Hong Kong Democracy Council. Secretary for Security Chris Tang criticised the reports as deliberate smears that used their usual tactics to make allegations based on unnamed individuals. Tang said Hong Kong has a high degree of academic freedom, adding that it is a city with five universities ranked among the world’s top 100, and that its academic standards and freedom are recognised worldwide. He also said academic freedom is highly protected under the Basic Law, the National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.
特區政府對於所謂人權觀察與香港民主委員會發表有關香港學術自由情況的報告，予以強烈譴責及反對。保安局局長鄧炳強批評，這些報告刻意抹黑，用慣常技倆、無名無姓的人作出指控。鄧炳強說，香港有高度學術自由，擁有百強大學內5間大學的城市，學術水平及自由是世界公認，又說在基本法、國安法和維護國家安全條例下，對學術自由有高度保障。

美眾議員通過影響經貿辦廢存《認證法》 港府：強烈譴責
The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London became embroiled in an espionage case in May this year, prompting questions in US political circles about the role of the offices. The US House of Representatives passed the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Certification Act by an overwhelming vote of 413 to 3. The bill requires the executive branch to certify whether the three Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices in Washington, New York and San Francisco may continue to enjoy their current privileges and immunities. If certification is not granted, the offices must cease operations within 180 days. The bill will next be submitted to the Senate for a vote. In a late-night statement, the Hong Kong government strongly condemned the bill for defaming Hong Kong’s laws safeguarding national security and smearing the city’s human rights situation. It said the United States has “significant economic interests” in Hong Kong, and warned that if the US insists on proceeding, it will damage relations between the two sides and ultimately harm the interests of the United States and its businesses.
香港駐倫敦經貿辦今年5月捲入間諜案，引起美國政壇對經貿辦角色的質疑。美國眾議院以壓倒性413票對3票，通過《香港經濟貿易辦事處認證法》，法案要求行政部門認證在華盛頓、紐約及三藩市的3個香港經貿辦是否可以延長目前享有的特權及豁免，若不獲確認，經貿辦須在180日內停止運作。法案接下來將送交參議院表決。港府在深夜發聲明，強烈譴責法案詆毁香港維護國家安全法律，以及抹黑香港人權狀況，並指美國在港有「重大經濟利益」，若美方一意孤行，將破壞兩方關係，最終損害美國及其企業的利益。

The US House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Certification Act early today (11 December Hong Kong time), by 413 votes to 3. If the bill is passed by the Senate and signed into law by the president, the US president will have to decide within 30 days whether to terminate the operations of Hong Kong’s three economic and trade offices in the United States. The US Senate will adjourn at the end of December, and the bill will lapse if it is not passed before then.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued a statement in the early hours strongly condemning the House for using the bill as a pretext to disparage Hong Kong’s laws safeguarding national security and smear the city’s human rights situation. It said the House had distorted the facts for political purposes and deliberately attacked Hong Kong, amounting to crude interference in Hong Kong affairs. The Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region also expressed strong condemnation and firm opposition.

特區政府凌晨發稿，強烈譴責美眾議院假借法案，詆毁香港維護國家安全的法律和抹黑香港人權狀況，為求政治目的，歪曲事實，刻意攻擊香港、粗暴干預香港事務。外交部駐港公署則表示強烈譴責和堅決反對。
