China has summons U.S. Ambassador Terry Branstad to “strongly protest” President Donald Trump’s signing of bills on Hong Kong human rights.
A protester holds American flags during a demonstration in Central, the financial district of Hong Kong, Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019. China reacted furiously to President Donald Trump's signing of two bills on Hong Kong human rights and said the U.S. will bear the unspecified consequences. A foreign ministry statement Thursday repeated heated condemnations of the laws and said China will counteract. It said all the people of Hong Kong and China oppose the move.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng told Ambassador Terry Branstad that the move constituted “serious interference in China’s internal affairs and a serious violation of international law,” a Foreign Ministry statement said. China has repeatedly accused the U.S. and other Western countries of orchestrating the mass pro-democracy demonstrations that have roiled Hong Kong for six months.
It’s still unclear how China will respond exactly and if Trump’s decision might disrupt negotiations with Beijing aimed at easing trade tensions.
