Hong Kong should uphold the authority of both the national constitution and its own charter while acting as a super-connector between China and the rest of the world against a backdrop of global instability caused by “unilateral and protectionist acts”, the country’s top diplomat in the city has told a legal forum.
Liu Guangyuan, commissioner of the Chinese foreign ministry’s office in Hong Kong, on Monday also said the country was committed to defending the international rule of law against “hegemony and poor politics” while promoting multilateralism.
