Foreign interference into Hong Kong's internal affairs 'totally unnecessary': Carrie Lam

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said in a press conference on Tuesday (Sep 10) that it is “totally unnecessary” for foreign parties to interfere with Hong Kong’s internal affairs after fresh protests broke out over the weekend. “We ourselves have the obligation and a duty to comply with provisions in the Basic Law,” she added.

#HKProtests

Interesting. During the massive protest in America, police brutality was more than what we seeing in Hong Kong. No country interfered America internal affairs, the so called UN didn’t interfered how the US government was dealing with the protesters in America, but the US have the guts to introduce a bill to stop selling tear gas to a sovereignty city.? My question is if these riots was going on in America, by now won’t police could have shot and killed some rioters? 4 months now police in Hong Kong has not killed any rioters, they keep destroying government properties, invading airport and train stations, Why the US government has so much interest in what’s going on in Hong Kong? We all agreed that what these youths are doing is no longer protest but riots, chaos, vandalisation and violence, did you hear the western media condemns what’s they are doing? Did you hear the US government condemns what the youth are doing? All they say is Hong Kong police using too much force, all the say is Hong Kong people are fighting for democracy and human rights, my question is, if this was happening in US will police treat them softly? Will the US government accept their demands? Is there anything like democracy in America? Hilary Clinton won the elections in America but trump was declared the winner. Is that democracy? What kind of double stands hypocrisy is this? I know the US government very Very well. They are just helping behind closed doors for the youth to destroy Hong Kong. And the most painful thing is ones they help to destroy Hong-Kong they won’t help them to fix Hong Kong. They will leave them in the mess. Why till date people can’t understand the US government double stands games, propaganda and hypocrisy? People have short memories, we forget so fast how they helped Libyans to destroy their country, we forget how they help Iraqis to destroy their country and killed their president, tell me what good things have America government done for those countries after the mess, they tell you we help them to fight for regime change, we help them to fight for democracy, we help them to fight for human rights. Is there anything like human rights in America? Is there anything like equality and fair justices system in America? Is time people should awake from false illusion. Stop living in a fools paradise. The US government is master of deceiver, be aware. They want to act like world police to dictate to other sovereignty countries how they should govern and how they should live their life.

By her eyebrows frowning moments, it's concluded that she had a disdain of answering journalists directly.

[ernestkj]

honestly, if your gov is good, no 'foreign interference' would work at all. My mom used to say: "If u cant fix things, don't blame outsiders."

[boofsiggy]

As citizens of the world, it is important that we understand there is a cost of lying. It is not that we will mistake lies for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, we no longer recognise the truth at all.
Dissolution of the Soviet Union 1991, Chernobyl 1986, Germany 1945.
Let us us heed the lessons of the past, so as to not make the same mistakes in the future.

Ain't rumors and speculations if it's true Carrie Lam

[alpshiker]

Hongkong is the top three freest countries/cities in the world. There is no need of free Hongkong, but USA and UK need to be free.

[tctc]

I don't know like her she's cool

[donaldoshea]

boy did she cross the street and go around the block on that one

[bowlampar]

She should say all foreigners shouldn't come to HK instead of not ' interfere ' in HK internal affair, then nobody will know about her extradition bill or mass protests.

[leo]

now protest still continue even you have gave in to the terrorist demand, you better step down and dont disgrace the mainland

[NangongReng]

Remember if those unscrupulous powers want to do Hk in, intending to hurt China's economic growth or as a bargaining chip, they are miscalculating. The first grps that will be affected in Hk would be those property tycoons and the British companies which had invested greatly in Hk.

[swadbodhy]

When a nation, are they even a nation??, took vto the streets, and keep waiting for outside help..
There s really a problem of credibility with the protesters...!!!

[步之敏]

HK will be marginalized. this is the only consequence of this "color revolution."
history is the consequence of human action, not human design.

[leo]

why you have not taken any measurement before you gave in the demands to the rioters, you are not fit to be CEO

Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew in his book
Third World to First::

“Around that time, in 1987, a counsellor in the US Embassy called Hendrickson
met Seow to encourage him to lead an opposition group at the next election. The
ISD recommended that we detain and interrogate Seow to get to the bottom of the
matter. I agreed. We had to put a stop to this foreign interference in
Singapore’s domestic politics and show that it was off-limits to all, including
the United States.”

Hendrickson’s involvement include instigating, cultivating and funding common people to collude with the US. This is outright foreign intervention in domestic politics.

History is  repeating itself in China-HK in 2019. Carrie Lam needs to be tougher
with foreign intervention and implement more forceful measures to deal with
such trouble-making foreign elements. This includes dealing with any media and individuals that generate fake news and spread rumours to create unrest. Stop all efforts to romanticize violent riots. Hit foreign intervention back fiercely with stronger words and action.

The world has been too peaceful, now everyone has an itchy backside for war.

[alexissayegh]

Yes it’s absolutely an interference, time to stop these dangerous activities.

[JA-inru]

if no charges on crimes, there will be more crimes

[fauzanaizwahhairuddin]

I think foreign country should not interfere hongkong issue, but i also agree Carrie Lam should resign. Hongkong need real leader to solve the issue and balancing with China. She just a puppet, not a leader.

[jyju]

CCP unilaterally erodes the Agreement. Hong Kong ofcourse will protest. And Carrie Lam's High handed approach is an offence against humanity. We condemn your action and lies
