On November 6, the Basic Court of the Macao Special Administrative Region handed down a judgment on the case of District Jinxin endangering national security in accordance with the law. The Office of the Special Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macau strongly supports the above ruling of the SAR court. After the announcement of the verdict, the EU Foreign Action Service, the China Committee of the US Congress and Administration, the United Nations Human Rights Office, and individual members of the European Parliament complained about the court's ruling in accordance with the law, slandered the rule of law and the human rights situation in Macau. The Office of the Special Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macau is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to this. Macau is a society governed by the rule of law. No one has the privilege above the law or the freedom to cross the red line of national security. The ruling of the SAR court clearly stated that Gu Jinxin's actions violated laws such as the Macau Special Administrative Region's “Safeguarding National Security Law” and should be severely punished by law. The courts of the Special Administrative Region conduct trials, convictions and sentences in strict accordance with the laws, facts and evidence of the Special Administrative Region, firmly uphold national security, defend legal authority, and are based on the law and reasonable. Any act that uses political pressure to attack the ruling of the SAR court in accordance with the law and attempt to whitewash the district is a flagrant violation of the rule of law in Macau. We emphasize once again that Gu Jinxin is a Chinese citizen. The Qu Jinxin case is solely an internal matter of the Macao Special Administrative Region, and outside forces have no right to speak out. No attack or discrediting can deny the tremendous success achieved by “one country, two systems” in Macau, and the objective fact that Macao residents have lived and worked peacefully all year round since their return to the motherland. We once again urge the countries and international agencies concerned to earnestly respect China's sovereignty and the rule of law in Macau, and immediately stop interfering in Macao affairs and China's internal affairs in any form!
