China Summons U.S. Ambassador to China

Strong Expression of Dissatisfaction Over Hong Kong Sanctions
China to Take Necessary Measures Against the US

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Jo Young-shin] The Chinese government summoned the US Ambassador to China and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong sanctions.

According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 16th, Zheng Zeguang, Vice Minister of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, summoned Terry Branstad, the US Ambassador to China, the day before and raised a stern negotiation regarding the US sanctions on Hong Kong. China uses the expression "raised a stern negotiation" when protesting specific issues through diplomatic channels.

Vice Minister Zheng said, "The United States has maliciously slandered the Hong Kong National Security Law, canceled special treatment for Hong Kong, and threatened sanctions against Chinese institutions and individuals," adding, "This is a violent interference in China's internal affairs and a serious violation of international law. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns this." He warned, "China will respond as necessary to the US's wrongful actions, including sanctions against relevant US institutions and individuals."

He stated, "The US's concern is not the 'democracy' or 'freedom' of the people of Hong Kong, but to obstruct and suppress China's development, which can never be realized," and urged, "The US should not implement the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and executive orders, nor interfere in internal affairs."

Vice Minister Zheng also expressed dissatisfaction that the US has interfered in China's internal affairs on issues such as Xinjiang, Tibet, and the South China Sea, harming China's interests.
