Island told to 'take its hands off' Hong Kong

A Chinese mainland spokesman on Wednesday told Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authority to immediately take its hands off Hong Kong.

"We once again solemnly warn the DPP authority to immediately take its hands off Hong Kong, and stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs, conniving with and sheltering violent radicals and undermining relations across the Taiwan Straits," said Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman with the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.

"The DPP authority has played an extremely disgraceful role in the recent situation in Hong Kong," he said.
