Hong Kong, Feb. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has expressed strong disapproval and firm opposition against some U.S. politicians' interference in Hong Kong affairs and Chinese domestic affairs. The commissioner's office issued a statement Friday night in response to some U.S. congressmen's irresponsible remarks on Hong Kong police's legal action against Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, widely known as one of the "black hands" behind Hong Kong's months-long unrest. The U.S. congressmen involved had carried out anti-China activities for a long time and colluded with Hong Kong anti-China plotters who messed up Hong Kong, said the statement. The congressmen involved shielded Hong Kong troublemakers, whitewashed their illegal actions, wantonly interfered in the rule of law and judicial independence in Hong Kong, and slandered the central government's Hong Kong policy, it said. The statement stressed that Hong Kong is a part of China, and the rule of law is valued here. Noting that all people are equal before the law and nobody has the right to stand above the law, the statement urged foreign forces to stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and Chinese domestic affairs, which will only get them to pay the price.
