KAMPALA, June 3 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and the West's attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs will never succeed, a Ugandan government spokesperson has said.
"Hong Kong is a territory of China, and as such China should be able to enact appropriate laws to regulate the running of its affairs, including the conduct of its citizens and how to detect possible crimes, apprehend suspects and cause them to be brought to justice," said Ofwono Opondo who is also executive director of state-owned Uganda Media Center told Xinhua in an interview on Monday.
Chinese lawmakers voted overwhelmingly at the 13th National People's Congress (NPC), the country's top legislature, last week to approve a decision on establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to safeguard national security.
The continued Western attempt to interfere in the Hong Kong affairs is geared towards undermining and destabilizing China, Ofwono said.
Uganda adheres to the one-China policy, he said, noting that any foreign attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs should not be tolerated and will never succeed. Enditem
