Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong

Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong and China is unswervingly committed to safeguarding national sovereignty, security and prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, the official stressed.

As the wheel of history rolls forward, Patten is still addicted to the dream of colonialism and unwilling to face the reality that Hong Kong was returned to its motherland 22 years ago, the official continued.

Patten should reflect on himself to correct mistakes, the official added.

The official also warned Patten to recognize the historical trend of China's development, respect the facts of the successful operation of "one country, two systems" and cease interfering in Hong Kong's affairs and undermining Sino-British relations.
