🇨🇳 China tells U.N. Human Rights Council that “the people in Hong Kong enjoy a wide range of rights and freedoms.”

🇨🇳 Chinese front group accredited as a "NGO" tells UNHRC: “As a matter of fact, protection of individual rights in Hong Kong has been better since the enactment of the National Security Law, and the improvement of the electoral system to ensure patriots administering Hong Kong.” pic.twitter.com/9SgNonpCrv

🇨🇳 China to UNHRC: "Since the enforcement of the national security law in Hong Kong as well as the improvement of its electoral system, Hong Kong has realized a historic turnaround from chaos to governance. Its people have been able to better exercise their legitimate freedoms." pic.twitter.com/6yxHzI5RXF

🇨🇳 China claims that 76.2% of Hong Kong residents do not think their freedom and rights have been affected after the implementation of the national security law.

🇨🇳 China's government spokesperson claims "Hong Kong has truly entered an era of democracy."
