Beijing won't tolerate foreign meddling in HK

China will resolutely oppose any interference in Hong Kong affairs by foreign governments, organizations or individuals, a mainland official warned on Thursday.

Xie Feng, commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said at the 2019 Colloquium on International Law held in Hong Kong that the SAR is facing its most dangerous and grave situation since its return in 1997.

Some countries' gross interference in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's domestic affairs, violates international law and basic norms governing international relations, Xie said, adding that they aim to damage Hong Kong's prosperity and stability and China's national sovereignty and security.
