The spokesperson said the Sino-British Joint Declaration is essentially about the resumption of exercise of sovereignty by China over Hong Kong. With the return of Hong Kong in 1997, UK-related obligations under the declaration had all been fulfilled, while the legal basis for the governance of Hong Kong by the Chinese government is the Constitution of China and the Basic Law of Hong Kong, the spokesperson said.

None of the paragraphs in the declaration give any country or organization any right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the legislation only targets acts of separatism, subversion, and terrorism that seriously undermine national security as well as foreign and external interference in Hong Kong affairs.

It will not impinge on and would rather better protect the legitimate rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents, the spokesperson said.
