China vows to retaliate if US continues meddling in Hong Kong

BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:45 P.M.) – The Chinese Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S.’ current meddling in Hong Kong, as Beijing demanded that Washington end their hostile policies and refrain from stirring tensions. In the statement released on Monday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said they would take “every necessary measure” to stop the U.S. from meddling in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If the US insists on hurting China’s interests, China will have to take every necessary measure to counter and oppose this”, Zhao Lijian stated. US Interference in Hong Kong Affairs

The legislation, announced last week during China's National People's Congress, will allow Beijing to take over in Hong Kong, O'Brien said. That would make it unlikely that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo could certify that the city, a former British colony, had a "high degree" of autonomy, which would result in sanctions against China under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, O'Brien said. The comments came as thousands of people gathered in Hong Kong streets to protest the proposed security law, and Hong Kong police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds. Read more at CNBC.
