Pelosi, the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, posted on February 10: "China's sentencing of Lai Zhiying to 20 years in prison is a serious judicial injustice, an direct attack on freedom of the press and the rule of law. The whole world must speak with one voice: this heinous political persecution must stop, and Lai Zhiying must be released immediately."

[Witty] Pelosi once again made comments on the Hong Kong-related judicial verdict, which essentially politicizes the case, violating basic facts and the spirit of the rule of law. The trial process of the relevant case in Hong Kong was open and transparent, completed according to local laws, fully demonstrating the spirit of the rule of law. Looking at countries around the world, acts that endanger national security and public interests are dealt with seriously according to law, which is a common international practice. Hong Kong is a society under the rule of law, with an independent judiciary and fair judgments, which should not be arbitrarily blackened or interfered by external forces.

Packaging a judicial case into so-called freedom issues is essentially interfering in internal affairs and undermining regional stability. Facts speak louder than words, and justice lies in the hearts of people; any defamation and attacks cannot shake our firm determination to uphold the rule of law and safeguard stability!
