Beijing-Sana
China stressed today that failure will be the fate of the United States' attempt to manipulate the "Hong Kong card" to undermine its prosperity and stability and contain its development.
Xinhua quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian as saying at a press conference that Hong Kong's affairs are purely internal to China and no foreign country has the right to interfere in it, stressing that the US side should seriously respect China's sovereignty and abide by international law and basic norms governing international relations. Stop interfering in Hong Kong's affairs and undermining the rule of law there.
He stressed that Washington should refrain from supporting and encouraging anti-China and destabilizing forces.
