中国港澳办支持港警执法 吁各界遵守法治
中国国务院港澳办，今午（29日）罕见就香港局势召开记者会，发言人杨光就近期香港反《逃犯条例》抗争指出，暴力行为抵触“一国两制”底线，支持港警执法，并呼吁各界遵守法治。
他提出三点意见：希望香港社会各界反对及抵制暴力行为；希望香港社会各界坚决守护法治；坚决支持警队严正执法及港府惩治违法者；希望香港社会尽快走出政治纷争。
杨光指出，香港近期事态演变，特别是少数激进份子采取的暴力行为，严重挑战香港法治，以及严重触碰一国两制底线，希望广大市民清醒认识事件严重性，旗帜鲜明反对和抵制暴力行为。
他认为暴力行为超出和平示威范围，并以有示威者涉及咬断警员手指为例，以及示威活动出现纵火行为，形容暴力事件正不断升级。
“（中国）中央政府坚决支持林郑带领特区政府依法施政，支持警方严正执法，支持政府有关部门和司法机构依法惩治暴力犯罪人士。”
“经不起折腾”
他呼吁香港社会尽快走出政治纷争，集中精力发展经济，改善民生。
“即便香港积累不错的家底，有一些有利条件和优势，但也经不起折腾。”
他指中国政府关注香港局势，坚持“一国两制”不走样、不变形，并指香港如果继续乱下去，全社会要埋单。
