[Individual US and Western politicians have repeatedly expressed so-called concerns about Huang Zhifeng’s cases. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded] November 5th, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference on November 5th. A reporter asked: We have noticed that certain US and Western politicians have repeatedly expressed so-called concerns about Joshua Wong's cases. On November 5, the Hong Kong court announced the sentencing ruling for Joshua Wong's "conspiracy and collusion case". What is China’s comment? Guo Jiakun said that Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law. It is a basic principle that laws must be followed and violations must be investigated. Joshua Wong was guilty of conspiring to collude with foreign countries or external forces to endanger national security. The crime was serious. In the face of a large amount of facts and evidence, he had no way to quibble and chose to plead guilty. The Chinese central government firmly supports the Hong Kong SAR in safeguarding national security in accordance with the law and cracking down on behaviors that endanger national security. He stressed that relevant parties should earnestly respect China's sovereignty, respect Hong Kong's rule of law, stop making irresponsible remarks on the trial of judicial cases in the SAR, and stop interfering in Hong Kong's judiciary and China's internal affairs in any form.
