The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government vowed to pursue the anti-government figure Agnes Chow Ting in accordance with the law and severely condemned her shameful act of absconding in fear of facing her crimes, after Chow revealed that she has no plans to return to Hong Kong despite being required to report to the police in December as part of a national security investigation.

China is a country under the rule of law, and Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. The rights and interests of Hong Kong residents enjoyed in accordance with the law are fully protected, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Monday in response to Chow's decision. 

At the same time, no one has any extrajudicial privileges, and any illegal and criminal act is bound to be punished by law, Wang said.

香港警方已就此作出回应，强烈谴责公然挑战法纪的不负责行为。”汪文斌表示，“中国是法治国家，香港是法治社会，香港居民依法享有的各项权益得到充分保障。同时，任何人都没有法外特权，任何违法犯罪行为必然受到法律的惩处。”

The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF)  also strongly condemned her irresponsible action, which challenges the rule of law. 

据香港媒体报道，因涉嫌违反香港国安法正保释候查的前“港独”组织“香港众志”成员周庭，日前在社交媒体发文称，今年拿到加拿大一所大学录取后，向香港警务处国家安全处提出申请，并于9月拿到护照，离港赴加拿大多伦多求学。她原定12月底回港向香港警方报到，但目前已决定不回港报到了。周庭此举相当于宣布“弃保潜逃”。香港警务处国家安全处12月4日对此表示，留意到最近有人在社交媒体表示不会按时向警方报到，警方强烈谴责这些公然挑战法纪的不负责行为，并呼吁当事人悬崖勒马，不要选择走一条不归的路，一生背负“逃犯”之名。

Chow, who was arrested by the national security department of HKPF on suspicion of colluding with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security, openly stated on social media that she would jump bail and abscond, disregarding the law and discipline, the HKSAR government said in a statement on Monday evening. 

Chow's open statement ignores the police's bail conditions, and her integrity is now completely ruined, as, in an attempt to evade legal consequences, she never seriously faced her alleged violations of law and order, the government said. 

周庭今年27岁，于2020年8月10日因涉嫌违反“勾结外国势力罪”被香港警务处国家安全处拘捕，其后于2020年底至2021年中因其他案件入狱。该女子出狱后继续接受国安处保释候查。根据香港法律，被捕者保释候查期间须定期向警方报到。
