Tokyo believes there is a growing risk Hong Kong’s “one country, two systems” framework is being undermined.
“It is with regret that the legislation was passed regardless of the strong concern shown by the international community and the people of Hong Kong,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said at a press conference on Tuesday. “It undermines the international community’s trust in the principle of ‘one country, two systems.’”Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi released a statement the same day saying, “Japan expresses its regret over the enactment of the national security law.
The use of the expression “regret” indicates the government’s toughening stance compared to the “seriously concerned” it used on May 28 and the “grave concern” used by the Group of Seven in a joint statement released on June 17 by G7 foreign ministers.
