The European Parliament has strongly endorsed a resolution calling for the European Union to revoke Hong Kong’s special trading status. This decision comes in response to the recent jailing of 45 opposition lawmakers on national security charges.
During a plenary session in Strasbourg, 473 lawmakers voted in favor of the non-binding resolution, while only 23 opposed it, and 98 abstained. The resolution also urged the European Commission to reassess the status of Hong Kong’s economic and trade office in Brussels.
Lawmakers reiterated their calls for targeted sanctions against Hong Kong's political leaders, including Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu. They also encouraged the 27 EU member states to consider filing a case at the International Court of Justice regarding China's imposition of the national security law on Hong Kong.
In response, the Hong Kong government dismissed the resolution, asserting that officials would not be intimidated by what they described as "barbaric and despicable acts." They criticized the European Parliament for allegedly interfering in China's internal matters and accused it of political manipulation and hypocrisy.
歐洲議會支持撤回香港特別貿易地位
歐洲議會強烈支持一項決議，呼籲歐洲聯盟撤回香港的特別貿易地位。這項決定是對最近對45名反對派立法會議員以國家安全罪進行監禁的回應。
在斯特拉斯堡的全體會議上，473名議員投票支持這項不具約束力的決議，僅有23名反對，98名棄權。該決議還敦促歐洲委員會重新評估香港在布魯塞爾的經濟和貿易辦事處的地位。
議員們重申了對香港政治領袖，包括行政長官李家超，實施有針對性的制裁的呼籲。他們還鼓勵27個歐盟成員國考慮在國際法院對中國強加國家安全法於香港的行為提出訴訟。
作為回應，香港政府對該決議表示不屑，強調官員不會受到他們所稱的「野蠻和可恥行為」的威脅。他們批評歐洲議會對中國內部事務的干涉，並指責其進行政治操控和虛偽的行為。
