HONG KONG – The Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese foreign ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Thursday strongly disapproved of and deplored a Hong Kong resolution fabricated by the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and irresponsible rhetoric about Hong Kong made by the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
They slandered the national security law in Hong Kong and the human rights and rule of law in Hong Kong, and showed support for anti-China forces in Hong Kong including Jimmy Lai, said a spokesperson for the office.
The successful practice of "one country, two systems" cannot be distorted or reversed by some narrow-minded and groundless smears, and the sustained implementation of "one country, two systems" cannot be stopped by some statements or resolutions, said the spokesperson
The spokesperson said that these moves only make the world see clearly the true sinister intentions of these politicians to whitewash anti-China elements and to undermine Hong Kong's rule of law.

The whole Hong Kong society and international stakeholders know Hong Kong's new situation and are confident in Hong Kong's future, the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson emphasized that the rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, and Hong Kong society must run on the track of the rule of law.
