Hong Kong is part of China. Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and brook no interference by any foreign country in any form. The Chinese Government remains unwavering in its determination to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and development interests, to implement "One Country, Two Systems" fully and accurately, to enforce the National Security Law for Hong Kong SAR and to oppose any interference in Hong Kong affairs by any external force. The UK has no sovereignty, jurisdiction, right of "supervision" or so-called "responsibility" over Hong Kong after the handover. We urge the UK side to wake up and refrain from going any further down the wrong path, and immediately stop all forms of interference in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs. Such interference will only be self-defeating.
