Rodong Sinmun Supports Chinese Party and Government's Line of "One Country, Two Systems"
Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) -- The situation is getting serious in Hong Kong, China as demonstrations against the revision of the law there have assumed the tendency of opposing the social system and the government, says Rodong Sinmun in a commentary on Saturday.

The commentary goes on:

What matters is that the interference by the outside world is making the Hong Kong crisis more and more complicated.

Extremists, encouraged by this, are openly asserting the intervention in the crisis by the U.S. and other Western forces, chanting "Let's liberate Hong Kong" and other slogans.

It is the steadfast determination and will of the Chinese party and government to maintain the line of "one country and two systems" and defend the sovereignty, security and interests of the country.

The Chinese Party and government are holding fast to the principle of settling the crisis by way of maintaining prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, ensuring rights and freedom of inhabitants according to the basic law and handling hooligans through legal actions.

As the issue of Hong Kong pertains to China's internal affairs, no one has the right to interfere in it.

The issue should be settled according to the decision of the Chinese people themselves.

The DPRK supports the measures taken by the Chinese party and government to solve the problem by way of executing the law with the power of self-control and hopes that their measures would yield desired fruits as early as possible.
