We have taken note of the briefing by Amnesty International on Human Rights in Hong Kong published in May and the issues that it raises.
We remain seriously concerned about the situation in Hong Kong and are fully committed to upholding Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy and rights and freedoms, which are underpinned by the Joint Declaration of 1984 and the "One Country, Two Systems" framework set out in the Hong Kong Basic Law.
