TIANJIN, July 26 2021 (Xinhua) — China puts forward two lists during talks with visiting U.S. deputy secretary of state

China has put forward two lists to the United States during the talks in Tianjin, one of which is the List of U.S. Wrongdoings that Must Stop and the other is the List of Key Individual Cases that China Has Concerns with, Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng said here Monday.

Xie made the remarks at a press briefing after talks with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who is on a visit to north China’s port city of Tianjin from July 25 to 26.

In the List of U.S. Wrongdoings that Must Stop, China urged the United States to unconditionally revoke the visa restrictions over Communist Party of China (CPC) members and their families, revoke sanctions on Chinese leaders, officials and government agencies, and remove visa restrictions on Chinese students.

China also urged the United States to stop suppressing Chinese enterprises, stop harassing Chinese students, stop suppressing the Confucius Institutes, revoke the registration of Chinese media outlets as “foreign agents” or “foreign missions”, and revoke the extradition request for Meng Wanzhou.

In another list, China expressed serious concerns to the United States on some key individual cases, including some Chinese students’ visa applications being rejected, Chinese citizens receiving unfair treatment in the United States, Chinese diplomatic and consular missions being harassed and rammed into by perpetrators in the United States, growing anti-Asian and anti-China sentiment, and Chinese citizens suffering violent attacks.

China urged the United States to address those cases as soon as possible and earnestly respect and protect the legitimate interests of Chinese citizens and institutions in the United States.

天津会谈中國向美方提出两份清单、三条底线,专家:中方占据了主场,更占据了主导. 中国外交部副部长谢锋在今 (26) 日于天津同美国常务副国务卿雪蔓会谈。

当天下午,国务委员兼外长王毅会见舍曼时也明确提出防止中美关系失控的“三条底线”。这是继安克雷奇会晤后,中美高级官员再次面对面接触对话,也是中美双方又一次严峻的交锋。王毅此前表示,“如果美国到今天还没有学会如何以平等的态度同其他国家相处,那么我们有责任和国际社会一道给美国补上这一课”,中方这次的讲话被认为是为美国补课准备的最犀利讲稿。尤其让外界震动的是,中方在会谈中提出了两份清单,一份是要求美方纠正错误的清单,另一份是中方关切的重点个案清单。这被认为是中方“史无前例的举动”。中国外交部发言人赵立坚当天下午在记者会上评论中美会谈时表示:“我们敦促美方,千万不要低估14亿中国人民维护国家主权、安全和发展利益的坚强决心、坚定意志和强大能力。”

今(26日)中美天津会谈在上午举行,美国常务副国务卿谢尔曼(Wendy Sherman)和中国外交部副部长谢锋进行会谈,在会议刚开始之际,谢锋马上表示,中美关係会陷入僵局的原因,就是因为美国某些人将中国当成「假想敌」。谢锋也在记者提问上指出,中国向美国提出两份清单,其中包括要求美国停止打压中国企业,以及停止干涉中国内政。

谢锋表示,在双方会谈中,除了表达中美关係的原则立场上,中国也督促美方改变极其错误的对华认知和极其危险的对华政策。谢锋强调,中国对美国在新冠病毒溯源、台湾、涉疆、涉港、南海等问题上的错误言行上,表达强烈不满,他们要求美国立刻停止干涉中国内政,停止损害中国利益。谢锋警告美国,千万不要低估14亿中国人民维护国家主权、安全和发展利益的坚强决心、坚定意志和强大能力。

谢锋还表示,中国向美国提出两份清单,一份是要求美国纠正对于中国的错误政策和言行,另一份则是中国关切的重点个案清单。针对纠正错误清单,谢锋指出,中国督促美国无条件撤销对中共党员及家属的签证限制,撤销对中方领导人、官员、政府部门的制裁,取消对中国留学生的签证限制,停止打压中国企业,停止滋扰中国留学生,停止打压孔子学院,撤销将中国媒体登记为「外国代理人」或「外国使团」,撤销对孟晚舟的引渡等等。

至于在中方关切的重点个案清单中,谢锋则指出主要是关于中国部分留学生赴美签证遭拒,中国公民在美国遭受不公正待遇,美国不法分子滋扰、衝撞中国驻美领事馆、美国国内仇亚、反华情绪滋长中、国公民遭暴力袭击等。针对这些个案向美方表达严重关切,要求美方尽快解决,切实尊重、保护中国公民和机构在美的合法权益。

谢锋并未提及在这次会谈中,美方想与中国讨论项目的项目有哪些。

Strengthen HK national security law as people wish: Global Times editorial

Strengthen HK national security law as people wish: Global Times editorial – Global Times Jul 16 2021

A symposium marking the first anniversary of the national security law for Hong Kong was held Friday with representatives from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao attending via video link. The symposium shows the whole Chinese people have become more proud, confident and assured in their identity as Chinese and are firmly determined to ensure the steady implementation of “one country, two systems.” It conveyed a solemn warning against some politicians in the US and the European Parliament: You brutally trampled on international law, interfered in our country’s internal affairs, and imposed meaningless so-called sanctions on us, which can only arouse our anger and contempt for you. This can only continue to sound the death knell for your agents in Hong Kong. You are lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet.

Comparing today with the past, whether the national security law for Hong Kong is good or not, facts speak louder than words and people’s support has the final say. Bidding farewell to the past Hong Kong plagued by rampant secessionists, violent rioters and Lam Chau radicals who advocate “If we burn, you burn with us,” who else would not like to see the fresh and orderly streets of Hong Kong today? In a city where citizens travel with ease, shops operate and students go to school without worries, who else would not be happy to see human rights, freedom and people’s livelihood and welfare thrive in such a way? The answer is certainly not the general public in Hong Kong.

But we must be vigilant. The troublemakers who have attacked and smeared the national security law for Hong Kong are not willing to cease their actions. This reminds us that we must make national security clearly and thoroughly understood. Without national security, there will be no human rights and freedom. Numerous historical lessons have made the Chinese people clear about this. Hong Kong’s past colonial history was a product of failed national security. It was also a page when the human rights and freedom of our Hong Kong compatriots were mercilessly trampled upon by colonists.

To boost the country’s prosperity, to make the law dignified, and to ensure that the people live and work in peace in a healthy economic and social order is the logic to realize a safe country and happy families. Bringing the anti-China rioters in Hong Kong to justice, and invigorating patriotism is the only way to maintain the long-term stability of Hong Kong. The practice in the past year has proven that the promulgation and implementation of the national security law for Hong Kong has effectively safeguarded the administrative authority of the chief executive and the special administrative region (SAR) government, helping the SAR government focus on preventing and controlling the epidemic, developing the economy, improving people’s livelihood, and promoting the positive interactions between Legislative Council and the SAR government. In the face of illegal and unreasonable sanctions by the US, officials of the SAR and Hong Kong patriots are fearless and righteous. They have inspired the Hong Kong people’s firm belief in self-respect and self-improvement.

Letting the national security law for Hong Kong take root and become increasingly powerful is the common wish of Hong Kong people. As of the end of June, law enforcement agencies of the SAR have arrested 117 rioters, charging 64. Strong enforcement actions have achieved immediate results, proving that the law is a guardian angel of Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability. The public in Hong Kong is more confident in the prospect of “one country, two systems” because they see that the original loopholes in Hong Kong’s national security system have been fundamentally blocked, and hidden hands of hostile forces inside and outside Hong Kong that had endangered the national security have been cut off. The constitutional order of the SAR established by the Constitution and the Basic Law has been strongly guaranteed.

Judging from facts and statistics from the Hong Kong market, the impact of the national security law for Hong Kong since its enactment is satisfactory. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and the gloomy global economy, compared to the 12 months before the law’s enactment, the funds raised for new IPOs exceeded $HK 500 billion, a 50 percent increase. Total deposits in Hong Kong banks increased 5.6 percent to $HK14.9 trillion. In the first half of the year, the number of newly established local companies is 11 percent more than the second half of last year.

It should also be noted that the steady economic development in the mainland is the driving force of many foreign investors to open new companies in Hong Kong. China is the only major economy that realized positive growth last year. In the first half of the year, it performed well with its GDP increasing 12.7 percent compared with the same period last year. The Chinese economy is believed to be the locomotive of the global economy. International investors eye the Hong Kong market, while they are eager to share the enormous dividends of the mainland economy.

Hong Kong’s future is bright as the national security law has been enacted for a year. The mainland views national security issues from an overall and long-term perspective and will not allow any risks that threaten the country’s core interests. The attempt by some US and Western forces to incite a Hong Kong-version color revolution is futile. No matter how they rudely trample on international law, interfere in China’s internal affairs or resort to sanctions, they are doomed to fail, as always.

HKSAR handles work visa of foreign journalists in line with law: Immigration Department

HKSAR handles work visa of foreign journalists in line with law: Immigration Department by Chen Qingqing and Guo Yuandan Nov 14 2021

Hong Kong residents converge on the streets of Causeway Bay on June 30, 2020 to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of returned to China and the enactment of the National Security Law.

The Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said it would not comment on individual cases when asked by the Global Times on Sunday about the reported rejection of the visa renewal for a journalist from The Economist, and that the authority handles each application in accordance with relevant laws and policies.

The authority replied to a question about the case of Sue-lin Wong, an Australian correspondent from The Economist, whose application to renew her visa was refused, according to media reports on Sunday.

“The immigration office won’t comment on individual cases, but it will handle each application in accordance with relevant laws and policies,” the Immigration Department said in an email sent to the Global Times.

Although the immigration office did not specify the reason for reportedly rejecting Wong’s visa renewal, some Western media connected the case to “freedom of press” in Hong Kong, with the Guardian saying that denying the visa to the journalist was a “latest media blow.”

“Hong Kong authorities have the authority to accept, delay or refuse an application for a work visa from anyone, and there is no need to exaggerate the individual case as it’s common practice in Western society that a visa application is rejected or withdrawn if there are any suspicions,” Chu Kar-kin, a member of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies and veteran current affairs commentator based in Hong Kong, told the Global Times on Sunday.

Chu noted that the problem may have come from the applicant’s previous words and deeds that are inconsistent with the scope of work and the nature of the visa.

Slandering the HKSAR government for intruding on press freedom or violating human rights is just another example of making exaggerations to scare others, the expert noted.

“Even if conditions are set for a work visa, there’s demand and supply, and there’s no need for a public explanation for entry policy or security,” Chu said.

It is not the first time that foreign media have hyped up the so-called deteriorating environment for foreign media outlets since the implementation of the national security law for Hong Kong.

When a reporter from Bloomberg asked where the red line for reporting in Hong Kong was, citing a survey from the Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) saying that nearly half of respondents were considering or had plans to leave the city due to the decline in press freedom, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said during a press conference on November 5 that if foreign media and journalists in Hong Kong follow the law and do their reporting in accordance with the law, their legitimate rights will be fully protected.

The spokesperson also gave out some numbers to refute the survey from the FCC. For example, as of April, there were 628 foreign employees from foreign media outlets holding work visas in Hong Kong, an increase of 98 from the same period last year with a growth rate of 18.5 percent.

The figures can’t lie, Wang said, noting that it truly reflected the opinion of foreign media outlets in Hong Kong concerning the city’s social and economic status as well as media environment.

Lyrics
Yuh 商朝是很久以前存在的朝代
博物馆有甲骨,真精彩
但是更有趣的就是周朝的战斗
他们一直打仗,人人没有头
可是不要小看秦朝统一了中国
文字钱和测量我们全都用很多
最强最装最有名全世界都知到
政府结构是伟大的汉代先创造

中国朝代。来!我们学些朝代吧
中国朝代,历史真厉害

隋朝时间短短的那就随他去吧
只有三十八年根本无法那个
唐朝那些最有名的聪明诗人比
床前明月光,看地上的霜
月亮是我家乡古人最爱的欣赏
给我宋朝指南针让我去寻找
活字印刷给我中文老师写个信
说我学到很多关于朝代得信息

中国朝代。来!我们学些朝代吧
中国朝代,历史真厉害

过了三百年以后终于有个元朝
往天望,长城高雅得从地里冒
等一下元朝皇位坐了蒙古人?
成吉思汗的儿女像拔不掉的根
他的小孩他的小孩明朝的人口
增长了两倍,我只能说哇塞
可惜清朝是中国最后的朝代
西方人对中国下了不少的伤害
因为不能没有中国珍贵的瓷器
说是进行贸易却是在后面演戏

中国朝代。来!我们学些朝代吧
中国朝代,历史真厉害

孙中山的Republic开启新未来
让老百姓们知道民主自由的存在
蒋介石打坏了一手的好牌
被共产党赶出了海峡以 外
毛泽东是世界的最爱
现在中国变得特厉害
