Some members of the European Parliament made unwarranted accusations against the legitimate law enforcement actions by the Hong Kong police. The spokesperson for the Commissioner's Office of Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong refuted such allegations in a statement made on Friday. 

The letter, from some members of the European Parliament to the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), has totally distorted the truth and only exposed again the parliamentarians' ignorance, bias, hypocrisy, and arrogance on Hong Kong-related issues, the spokesperson said.

The parliamentarians tried to whitewash traitors to the nation – who have long conspired with foreign forces to mess up Hong Kong – as "pro-democracy advocates", and the unlawful assembly they plotted, organized and participated in – which turned into extremist violence – as "peaceful demonstration", while smearing Hong Kong police's dutiful law enforcement efforts as "political prosecution", said the spokesperson. 

"This has only testified again to these parliamentarians' collusion with the anti-China troublemakers in Hong Kong." 

The spokesperson also pointed out that while there is no denying Hong Kong is an international financial center, it is, first and foremost, a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. 

"It is only natural for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Central Government's Liaison Office in the HKSAR, as specialized bodies of the Central Government on Hong Kong affairs, to supervise, follow and state on behalf of the Central Government the solemn position on major issues concerning the relationship between the Central Government and the HKSAR, faithful implementation of the Basic Law, normal operation of the political system and the overall social interests." 

"It is not only their duty but also their power mandated by the Constitution and the Basic Law," the spokesperson added.

However, the parliamentarians cheered the anti-China troublemakers on, trampled Hong Kong's rule of law and judicial independence, and meddled with HKSAR government's law-based governance in an outrageous violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations, the spokesperson stressed. 

"It is their attempt to interfere with Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs at large that has posed the real threat to Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy, prosperity and stability, and gravely undermined the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle and the spirit of the Basic Law." 

The spokesperson urged the parliamentarians to abide by international law and basic norms governing international relations, face the fact that Hong Kong has long returned to China, stop their clumsy political performance and futile interference, and stop damaging Hong Kong's rule of law and judicial independence and meddling with Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs.
