State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: The DPP authorities smear and attack "One Country, Two Systems" to obstruct people-to-people exchanges between Hong Kong and Taiwan will not succeed.

On July 16th, the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. A reporter asked: This year marks the 28th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council released a report stating that the mainland's commitments of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and "high degree of autonomy" have "deformed and deviated", gradually turning into "centralized rule of Hong Kong" and "comprehensive governance", with Hong Kong society now under "comprehensive surveillance". What are your comments on this? Spokesperson Chen Binhua stated that on the 28th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Hong Kong once again was rated as the "world's freest economy", maintaining its position as the world's third-largest international financial center, rising to third in global competitiveness, ranking third in foreign direct investment inflows globally, and hosting the headquarters of the International Mediation Court in Hong Kong. These are strong evidence of Hong Kong's progress and vibrant vitality, reflecting the widespread international recognition of Hong Kong's stability, freedom, and prosperity, fully demonstrating the strong vitality of "one country, two systems", indicating that Hong Kong's future will certainly be better. Chen Binhua emphasized that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have no right to make unfounded criticisms about Hong Kong affairs, attempting to attack and discredit "one country, two systems" to cover up their own governance incompetence, obstructing exchanges between Hong Kong and Taiwan, and will not succeed.
