Where to Read Official Statements from the Office of the Commissioner of the MFA in the HKSAR
Updated
The Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region publishes its official positions on hk.ocmfa.gov.cn, in a dedicated section labeled 公署表态 ("Office Statements"). That section is the primary place to read the office's own public responses; the same site also carries 国家立场 ("National Position") content, which reproduces statements from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing rather than from the Hong Kong office itself.
The two sections, and how they differ
| Section | Who is speaking | What it typically contains |
|---|---|---|
| 公署表态 (Office Statements) | The Office of the Commissioner in the HKSAR, usually through its spokesperson | Responses to foreign reports or actions concerning Hong Kong |
| 国家立场 (National Position) | The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing | Foreign ministry press conferences and statements of national position |
If you are looking specifically for the Hong Kong office's own voice, start with 公署表态. If you want the broader diplomatic position of the Chinese foreign ministry, use 国家立场.
What the Office Statements section looks like in practice
Entries in this section are issued by the office spokesperson and are dated. Examples visible on the site include:
- 外交部驻港公署发言人:坚决反对欧方涉港报告 维护国安不容置喙 (2026-09-23)
- 外交部驻港公署发言人: 依法审判彰显正义 外部干预注定落空 (2026-09-12)
- 外交部驻港公署发言人: 煽动颠覆必受严惩 外部干预注定徒劳 (2026-08-22)
- 外交部驻港公署发言人:敦促英方立即停止反华的政治操弄 (2026-05-08)
Two patterns are worth noting. First, the speaker is identified in the headline as 外交部驻港公署发言人 (spokesperson of the Office of the Commissioner). Second, the subject matter is typically a reaction — to a foreign report, a foreign government's action, or a court case — rather than a routine announcement. This is why the section functions as the office's channel for stating and defending its position on Hong Kong-related external affairs.
Where the rest of the site fits
The homepage is organized into several blocks, and knowing them helps you navigate:
- 特派员活动 (Commissioner's Activities) — meetings and public engagements of the Commissioner, such as receiving incoming or outgoing consuls-general.
- 公署活动 (Office Activities) — events organized or attended by the office, including exchanges with consular corps, media groups, and student programs.
- 国家要闻 (National News) — major national-level news items.
- 国家立场 (National Position) — foreign ministry press conferences and statements.
- 公署风采 (Office Life) — internal and community activities, such as staff and family visits.
Each block ends with a 更多... ("More...") link that opens the full list for that category, which is the practical way to browse older statements rather than scrolling the homepage.
How to find a specific statement
- Open hk.ocmfa.gov.cn.
- Locate the 公署表态 block on the homepage.
- Read the dated headlines; each headline states the topic and the date in parentheses.
- Click 更多... at the end of the block to see the complete archive of statements.
- If the item you want is a foreign ministry press conference rather than an office statement, switch to the 国家立场 block instead.
Points to keep in mind
- Statements are attributed to the spokesperson of the office, not to individual officials, so search by the section name rather than by a person's name.
- The site is the office's own publication channel; the statements are official positions, not news reporting about them.
- The homepage excerpt shows dates in 2026, so the archive is actively updated — check the 更多... list for the most recent items rather than relying on the homepage preview.
- The site's interface material is in Chinese, so the section labels above are the terms to look for when navigating.
