SAR Government Strongly Condemns G7 Foreign Ministers’ and EU Statement as Untrue and Biased, Deliberately Misleading Public
特區政府強烈譴責七國外長及歐盟聲明不實和偏頗 刻意誤導公眾
The SAR Government strongly condemned the foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, the US Secretary of State and the EU High Representative for deliberately misleading the public with untrue and biased statements, and for smearing the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance. A spokesperson said that, under international law based on the United Nations Charter and international practice, safeguarding national security is an inherent right of all sovereign states. Many common-law jurisdictions, including Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, as well as Singapore, have enacted multiple laws to safeguard national security. The G7 foreign ministers and the EU High Representative, however, had turned a blind eye to this and made irresponsible remarks, which was a typical example of political hegemony and hypocritical double standards.
特區政府對加拿大、法國、德國、意大利、日本、英國外長、美國國務卿與歐盟高級代表，以不實和偏頗言論，刻意誤導公眾、抹黑《香港國安法》及《維護國家安全條例》，予以強烈譴責。 發言人表示，根據《聯合國憲章》為基礎的國際法及國際慣例，維護國家安全是所有主權國家的固有權利。很多普通法司法管轄區，例如美、英、加拿大等西方國家及新加坡等，都制定了多部維護國家安全的法律，七國外長與歐盟高級代表卻對此視而不見、大放厥詞，是典型的政治霸權和虛偽的雙標。
