German business is following the reports on the Xinjiang Autonomous Region with great concern. APA appeals to German and European politicians to stand up for the protection of human rights in China and promotes an open dialogue with China.
Position
- National Security Law raises questions about Hong Kong's systemic autonomy.
- German business appreciates the high level of rule of law and transparency in Hong Kong and is concerned about current political developments.
- The new National Security Law must not call into question the status quo of the "one country, two systems" principle.
- Any relativisation of the "one country, two systems" principle would have negative signal effects for Hong Kong as a business location.
