Beijing has called for a halt to interference in China's domestic affairs after 12 US lawmakers nominated three leaders of the illegal "Occupy Central" movement for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Hong Kong affairs belong to China's domestic affairs, and Beijing "opposes interference of any form by any individual", the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson's Office told China Daily in a written reply on Friday.
