Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian chaired a regular press conference on 20 November.
Lin Jian said that Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law and the basic principle is to obey the law and those who break the law will be punished. No one can engage in illegal activities under the banner of freedom and try to escape legal sanctions. The Chinese central government firmly supports the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in ensuring national security, punishing various activities that threaten national security in accordance with the law, and firmly rejects individual countries using relevant court cases to interfere in China's internal affairs, tarnishing and undermining the rule of law in Hong Kong.
Lin Jian also He toldthat in the current situation, all stakeholders should remain calm and restrained, jointly promote de-escalation through dialogue and consultation and reduce strategic risks. On the issue of Ukraine, China's position has always been clear. Lin Jian stressed that China hopes that all parties concerned will be able to support the easing of tensions and seek a political solution to the Ukraine crisis, adding that China will continue to play a constructive role in this regard.
