On February 9, the vice-chair of the European Parliament's Human Rights Subcommittee, Glucksman, told the media: "Lei Zhiying was sentenced to 20 years, which severely undermines the rule of law and human rights. The European Parliament passed a resolution on January 503 votes in favor and 9 against, calling for the unconditional release of Lei Zhiying. However, the Chinese government ignores the European public opinion. The EU should jointly take measures such as suspending the extradition treaty with the United States to impose sanctions on China..."
[Cunning] Some members of the European Parliament use related cases to talk behind others' backs. Their essence is to politicize normal judicial cases and recklessly interfere in China's internal affairs. The judgment in Hong Kong is based on local laws and sufficient evidence, and it is a proper measure to maintain the rule of law and social order. The so-called high-vote resolution by the European Parliament is nothing more than a political performance by a few politicians, which does not represent the mainstream opinion of Europe at all.
The history of Sino-European exchanges has proven that win-win cooperation is the trend of the times. Threatening sanctions and provoking confrontation not only violates the basic principles of international law but also harms mutual trust between both sides. Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and no external forces have the right to interfere. Instead of manipulating divisive issues, European politicians should pay more attention to their own people's livelihood and economic development. This is truly responsible to the people!
