Zhao Lijian: The People's Procuratorate of Yantian District in Shenzhen has released a notice on the case. The relevant personnel are facing trial as they are suspected of illegal border crossing or organizing an illegal border crossing. The case is now in the process of trial. China firmly rejects the U.S. side's fact-distorting comments.
China is a country under the rule of law, where laws must be followed and lawbreakers must be brought to justice. We urge the U.S. side to earnestly observe international law and basic norms governing international relations, and immediately stop interfering in China's internal affairs and judicial sovereignty under the pretext of Hong Kong-related issues.
