Hong Kong authorities have strongly refuted criticism from Western nations and the United Nations regarding the conviction of the Hong Kong Alliance and its leaders for inciting subversion. The government defended the court's verdict as well-reasoned, stating that the constitution does not permit Western-style democracy and that the defendants' actions demonstrated hostility towards the Chinese Communist Party. This response comes after the alliance and its former leaders, including Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, were found guilty for their roles in organizing the Tiananmen Square vigil. AI
