发生在香港的游行示威和暴力冲击活动已持续一个多月，对香港的法治、社会秩序、经济民生和国际形象造成了严重影响，令所有关心香港、珍爱香港的人倍感痛心。
香港近期事态的演变，特别是少数激进分子实施的暴力活动，已经严重破坏了香港繁荣稳定的大局，严重挑战了香港法治和社会秩序，严重威胁到香港市民的生命财产安全，也严重触碰了“一国两制”的原则底线，绝对不能容忍。任何文明和法治社会都不会容忍暴力横行。
The marches and demonstrations and violent clashes have lasted more than one month in Hong Kong, impinging on the rule of law, social order, economic and social activities, people's life and international image of Hong Kong. This has saddened all the people who love and care about Hong Kong.
We hope that people from all walks of life in Hong Kong will clearly oppose and resist violence. What has happened recently, especially the acts of violence committed by a small number of radicals, has undermined Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, challenged the rule of law and social order, threatened the personal and property safety of the residents of Hong Kong, and hit the bottom line of the principle of "one country, two systems" and will not be tolerated. Violence will not be tolerated in any civilized society and society of rule-of-law. It is hoped that the general public of Hong Kong will be aware of the seriousness of the current situation and jointly condemn the evil and criminal acts committed by the radicals so as to prevent them from sabotaging Hong Kong.
法治是香港人引以为傲的核心价值，是香港良好的营商环境的基础，是香港保持繁荣稳定的重要基石，绝不能坐视一小部分人肆无忌惮地践踏。中央政府坚决支持林郑月娥行政长官带领特区政府依法施政，坚决支持香港警方严正执法，坚决支持香港特区政府有关部门和司法机构依法惩治暴力犯罪分子，坚决支持爱国爱港人士捍卫香港法治的行动。
We hope that Hong Kong people will resolutely uphold the rule of law. This is the core value that Hong Kong people take pride in, a foundation for a favorable business environment, and an important cornerstone for prosperity and stability. We will not do nothing about the outrageous behaviors by a small group of people. Once the rule of law is undermined, Hong Kong cannot retain its prosperity and stability. The central government firmly supports the Chief Executive of HKSAR Carrie Lam in leading the HKSAR government to rule according to the law, the Hong Kong police in enforcing laws rigorously, the HKSAR government and the judiciary body in meting out punishment to violent criminals according to the law, and patriots and people who love Hong Kong in safeguarding rule of law in Hong Kong. Aware of the huge pressure that the Hong Kong police and their families are suffering, we give our solute to the fearless and excellent Hong Kong police who have been sticking to their posts, fulfilled their duties, and endured humiliation.
香港虽然积攒下一些不错的家底，具有一些有利条件和独特优势，但也经不起折腾和内耗。香港乱下去，全社会都要“买单”。特区政府和全社会都应该想方设法，采取更有效的举措，推动经济发展、民生改善，特别是帮助年轻人解决在住房和学业、就业、创业等方面遇到的实际困难，纾解他们的怨气。中央政府愿意与特区政府和香港社会各界人士一起努力，为他们的发展创造良好的条件。
We hope that Hong Kong will get out of the political contentions as soon as possible, and concentrate on developing its economy and improving people's livelihood. Development is crucial for Hong Kong, and it holds the key to resolving various local issues. Although Hong Kong, endowed with favorable conditions and enjoying unique advantages, has laid a pretty good foundation for its development, it can't stand turmoil and riots, which would leave dent on its prosperity and stability. If the chaos continues, the whole society of Hong Kong will bear its brunt. The HKSAR government and the whole society should explore ways and adopt efficient measures to promote local economic growth and improve people's livelihood, especially help young people to cope with difficulties in issues such as housing, education, employment and starting businesses, so as to alleviate their grievances. The central government is willing to join hands with the HKSAR government and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to create favorable conditions for the development of young people.
我们诚挚感谢尼日利亚朋友关心香港的未来，希望香港长期繁荣稳定得到维护，这符合全球利益，也是中国中央政府和香港特别行政区政府为之不懈努力的方向。
对于美国那些伪善言论，我们坚决说不。香港是中国的香港，香港事务是中国的内政。任何危害国家主权安全、挑战中央权力和香港特别行政区基本法权威、利用香港对内地进行渗透破坏的活动，都是对底线的触碰，都是绝不能允许的。中国政府绝不允许任何外部势力插手香港事务，更不会允许任何外国势力企图搞乱香港。中国中央政府坚决支持特区政府依法施政，坚决支持香港警方依法严惩暴力犯罪分子，维护香港的安全与稳定。
We truly appreciate that Nigerian friends care about Hong Kong's future and hope its long-term prosperity and stability could be well maintained. Enduring prosperity and stability in Hong Kong is indeed in the interest of the world, and is also what the Chinese Central Government and the HKSAR Government have been striving for all along.
As for American hypocritical comments, we must categorically say NO. Hong Kong is part of China, and its affairs are of domestic concern alone. Any attempt to endanger China's sovereignty and security, challenge the authority of the central government and the sanctity of the Basic Law of the HKSAR, or use Hong Kong as a channel for infiltration and sabotage against the mainland, is an act that crosses the red line, and is absolutely impermissible. The Chinese government will never allow any foreign forces to have a hand in Hong Kong affairs. Neither will we allow them to mess up Hong Kong. The central government firmly supports the HKSAR government in governing Hong Kong in accordance with law and support Hong Kong police in strictly punishing violent criminals to uphold security and stability in Hong Kong.
相信在中央政府和祖国内地的大力支持下，在特区政府的带领下，香港同胞一定能够把香港管理好、建设好、发展好，香港一定能够战胜前进道路上的各种困难和挑战，“一国两制”这艘航船一定能够劈波斩浪、行稳致远！
It's believed that, with the strong support of the central government and all the people of the Chinese mainland, under the leadership of the HKSAR government, our compatriots in Hong Kong will be bound to do a good job in administering, building and developing Hong Kong by bravely coping with all kinds of difficulties and challenges. The policy of "one country, two systems" will be bound to show its continued vitality and tenacity.
