Hong Kong rejects EU annual report on freedoms as 'unfounded and biased'

Hong Kong's government issued a lengthy rebuttal to the EU's 2025 annual report, which alleges erosion of fundamental freedoms in the city. The exchange reflects ongoing diplomatic friction between Brussels and Beijing over Hong Kong's autonomy, with no immediate policy shift. The EU report is part of a recurring annual pattern, and the Hong Kong response is a standard countermeasure.
