Hong Kong leader tells U.S. not to ‘interfere’ after latest protests
The HinduHong Kong’s embattled leader warned the U.S. on Tuesday not to “interfere” with her government’s response to the city’s pro-democracy movement, after fresh protests called on Washington to ramp up pressure on Beijing. The proposed law could undermine Hong Kong’s special U.S. trade privileges by mandating regular checks on whether authorities were respecting the Basic Law that underpins the city’s semi-autonomous status. But Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing Chief Executive Carrie Lam said that any change to its economic relationship with the U.S. would threaten “mutual benefits”. Meanwhile, Hong Kong fans booed their own national anthem and sang in protest against Beijing’s rule as months of unrest spilled onto the football pitch in a 2-0 World Cup qualifying defeat to Iran on Tuesday “It’s extremely inappropriate for any country to interfere in Hong Kong’s affairs,” she told reporters.“I hope that no more people in Hong Kong actively reach out to tell the United States to pass the Act.” Beijing on Tuesday echoed Ms. Lam’s remarks, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying saying: “We hope that they can withdraw their black hands in Hong Kong as soon as possible.” While some American politicians on both sides of the aisle have expressed support for the democratic goals of the protesters, President Donald Trump’s administration has maintained a more hands-off approach while it fights a trade war with China.
