Beijing would respond strongly to US sanctions on China: HK lawmaker

Beijing would respond strongly to any moves by the Trump administration if it endorses sanctions on China, Hong Kong lawmaker and former security chief Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee said on her official social media account on Saturday.

Ip's comments came after the US Republican Study Group issued a report, "Strengthening America & Countering Global Threats" that labeled China "a security threat" and urged the Trump administration to consider economic sanctions.
