A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington on Nov. 20 ripped into the latest provocation around Hong Kong issued by the Five Eyes alliance countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain and the United States), which issued a pronouncement that Hong Kong has “openly breached” international law.
Hong Kong is China’s internal affair, the spokesman stated, and the Five Eyes would do better to “turn their eyes to their own governance issues that urgently need addressing.… If one’s heart is blind, you do not expect his/her eyes to be bright. The Five Eyes Alliance countries, including the United States, should reflect on the racial superiority complex deep in their hearts, give up their pride and prejudice inherited from Hong Kong’s colonial rule and shed their illusion of using Hong Kong to contain China’s development and prosperity,” said the spokesperson in a statement. “In today’s world, no attempt to pressurize China or damage China’s sovereignty, security and development interests will ever prevail.”
The lying Nov. 18 statement is posted on the U.S. State Department website.
