The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government on Saturday bashed the so-called "2024 Annual Report" issued by the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), which made malicious smearing remarks against multiple areas in the HKSAR.



"The HKSAR government strongly disapproves and opposes the CECC's repeated tactics to interfere in the affairs of the HKSAR through the so-called annual report, and make slandering remarks against Hong Kong, where 'one country, two systems' is successfully implemented. The United States is once again making unfounded and fact-twisting remarks," the spokesperson said.



"Such attempt to undermine the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and interfere in Hong Kong's law-based governance is smack of despicable political manipulation with ill intentions," the spokesperson added.



The spokesperson said, "The CECC openly clamor for so-called 'sanctions' with an aim to intimidate HKSAR officials who resolutely safeguard national security. The HKSAR government strongly condemns its political grandstanding rife with ill intentions, which have been seen through by all. The HKSAR despises the so-called 'sanctions' and will not be intimidated by such a despicable behavior. The HKSAR will resolutely continue to discharge the duty of safeguarding national security."
