Commissioner's office of Chinese foreign ministry in HKSAR refutes British judge's slandering remarks on Hong Kong

HONG KONG, June 16 (Xinhua) -- The foundation of Hong Kong's rule of law and the global community's faith in Hong Kong's rule of law will not be affected by any external interference, a spokesperson for the Commissioner's Office of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) said on Sunday.

The spokesperson made the statement in response to the slanders made against Hong Kong's rule of law by Jonathan Sumption, a British judge who recently resigned as a non-permanent judge of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal, as well as the smearing campaign orchestrated by some British politicians against the HKSAR's laws to protect national security.
