BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — China strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposes irresponsible remarks by G7 members and relevant Western countries and organizations on the law enforcement activities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) government, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Monday.

The diplomat made the statement at a regular departmental press briefing, commenting on the news that members and associate members of the G7 Rapid Response Mechanism recently issued a statement attacking and denigrating the Hong Kong police's decision to issue arrest warrants for those involved in the illegal election activities of the so-called "Hong Kong parliament," calling these actions "transnational repression."

Lin Jian noted that the law enforcement actions taken by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region police against overseas individuals who oppose China and destabilize the situation in Hong Kong are in line with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Regulations on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as well as international law and generally accepted practices.

“These actions are legal, justified and necessary,” the official representative said.

Lin Jian pointed out that the accusations of the relevant countries of so-called “transnational repression” against the Hong Kong police are completely groundless. According to him, some countries abuse “long-arm jurisdiction” and impose illegal unilateral sanctions, while attacking and denigrating the legitimate actions of Hong Kong law enforcement officers, which fully exposes the hypocrisy and double standards of these countries.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stressed that the Chinese central government firmly supports Hong Kong law enforcement agencies in taking legal measures against anti-China and destabilizing Hong Kong elements and organizations hiding abroad in order to safeguard national security and ensure the long-term stability of Hong Kong.

“We call on relevant countries and organizations to stop encouraging anti-China troublemakers and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs,” Lin Jian concluded. –0–

TEHRAN, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — The United States' involvement in Israel's attack on Iran has lowered Tehran's trust in Washington to "below zero," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Monday.

The diplomat made the statement at a weekly press conference, answering a question about Iran's preconditions for resuming talks on its nuclear program with the United States.

“We have no trust in the United States… Israel’s attack on Iran against the backdrop of /indirect Iranian-American/ negotiations and the subsequent participation of the United States in it, in fact, left no room for even zero trust /in Washington/,” noted E. Bagai.

He said Iran had not yet made any decision on resuming talks with the United States, adding that talks and messages between the two sides were continuing through intermediaries.

E. Bagai also condemned the US sanctions, saying they weakened international rules and norms regarding free trade.

On June 13, two days before the start of the sixth round of proxy talks on Iran's nuclear program with the United States, Israel launched massive airstrikes on several Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior military officials, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Iran responded with several waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel.

On June 22, the US military bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. Iran responded by striking the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

On June 24, after a 12-day war, a ceasefire was reached between Iran and Israel. –0–
