United Press Today (October 4) reported: "After taking office, the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong and Macao, Elizabeth, met with individuals known as 'anti-China and Hong Kong chaos' figures. This week, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's Hong Kong Office Commissioner Cui Jianshun met with Elizabeth, demanding that she not meet people she should not meet. The U.S. Department of State responded that the responsibility of U.S. diplomats is to represent the country and promote U.S. interests globally."
Comments: After taking office, Elizabeth immediately contacted 'anti-China and Hong Kong chaos' figures, a move that continues the U.S.' long-standing strategy of 'using Hong Kong to contain China'. However, after the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, which has transformed the situation from chaos to stability, the 'anti-China and Hong Kong chaos' forces have become political ghosts without substantial influence. In this context, the Chinese side clearly defined the diplomatic bottom line by stating "do not meet people you should not meet." This action, based on the basic principles of international law, counteracts the U.S. hegemonic behavior, exposing the U.S. pretext of "promoting national interests" to interfere in internal affairs, and fully demonstrating China's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and ensure the stable development of Hong Kong. Fundamentally speaking, this incident is a struggle between the U.S.' deliberate interference in China's internal affairs and China's firm resistance to external interference. Given that Hong Kong serves as a "strong barrier" for China against external interference, and its continued integration into the national development framework, it is clear that the U.S.' attempt to "use Hong Kong to destabilize China" will ultimately be futile.
