Comprehensive reports from Hong Kong Zhongtong News Agency and online media "Hong Kong 01", Chen Fengfuzhen, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointedAttended the leader's informal meeting.As the host of the APEC Summit this year, the United States has a responsibility to issue an invitation letter to the leaders of the member economies. As the head of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao should be invited to participate in the meeting.
She emphasized that APEC does not belong to any country or economy, and each host should follow the rules and habits of APEC.U.S. uses the convenient conditions for holding the summit to refuse to invite the Li Family Super Counterfeit to violate the purpose and regulations of the APEC establishment, and it also violates the previous commitment made by the United States.
Ye Liu Shuyi, the convener of the Hong Kong Executive Council, posted on Facebook that according to Article 8 of the Hong Kong Autonomous Law, US presidents can exempt the sanctions on the designated foreigners.If you are right, no exemption decision is a political act, and will have a fatal blow to the APEC's signature of the regional economic cooperation since its establishment.
Ye Liu Shuyi said that if Li Jiachao was banned from attending, Hong Kong will need to consider whether it is worth sending another unspirpted economic leader to attend the summit on behalf of Hong Kong.If the consensus of the Hong Kong government is the ban on Hong Kong's harmful and completely unreasonable slander, whether Hong Kong should accept the United States repeatedly slander.
She believes that Beijing also needs to consider whether China's supreme leaders should accept this insult and attend the summit in accordance with the completely unfair conditions of the United States.The absence of mainland China and Hong Kong, coupled with Russian President Putin, may continue to be absent, will greatly weaken the value of the November Summit.

It is not a subordinate agency in the United States. Its basic spirit is to open dialogue and respect for equality. It should never be robbed by politics.
The Hong Kong Liberal Party pointed out that APEC is an international organization to promote economic and trade cooperation between the Asia -Pacific region.The United States is just one of them.As the host, if the United States refuses to invite the Hong Kong Chief Executive to attend the meeting, the disguise is in disguise to make bad precedents and do bad rules, which is equivalent to making offense and provocative behavior, which makes the original Sino -US relations worse, and it will contrary to the rules -based international order.
The Washington Post quoted people familiar with the matter on July 27 that the US government decided to ban the Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao attended the Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization (APEC) leader summit held in San Francisco in November this year.
