Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang

　[Global Times-Global Network Report Reporter [Bai Yunyi] At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 22nd, a foreign media reporter asked whether overseas Chinese have recently organized a series of patriotic activities overseas to raise anti-"Hong Kong independence" calls. Is this organized by Chinese embassies and consulates abroad? In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang asked, is it possible for the will of 1.4 billion people to be organized and manipulated?

Geng Shuang said at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held that day that the biggest demand of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Hong Kong compatriots, for the current situation in Hong Kong is to stop violence and chaos and restore order, and their biggest expectation is to maintain Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. This is the common will of 1.4 billion Chinese people. "Do you think the will of 1.4 billion people can be organized and manipulated?" Geng Shuang said that it is completely reasonable and reasonable for overseas Chinese citizens to express indignation and opposition to some words and deeds that attempt to split the country and smear China's image. China hopes that overseas Chinese citizens can express their patriotic enthusiasm rationally and pay attention to protecting their own safety. The Chinese government has always required overseas Chinese citizens to abide by local laws and regulations. It also hopes that relevant countries can respect and understand the legitimate activities of overseas Chinese citizens and protect and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
