HONG KONG, July 30 — China’s office in Hong Kong praised local authorities today for disqualifying a dozen pro-democracy campaigners from standing in legislative elections, saying their political views “crossed the legal bottom line”.
“How could Hong Kong’s legislative body... allow these unscrupulous delinquents seeking to destroy ‘One Country, Two Systems’ and Hong Kong’s prosperity into its chamber,” the Liaison Office said in a statement. — AFP
