Beijing warned Washington on Monday of retaliation after President Donald Trump announced restrictions on Chinese students in the US in protest against a new national security law in Hong Kong.
China also said ongoing unrest in the US highlighted its severe problems of racism and police violence – and exposed Washington’s double standards in supporting Hong Kong’s protesters.
“Any words and actions that harm the interests of China will be met with counter-attacks on the Chinese side,” said foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian at a press briefing on Monday. China’s rubber-stamp parliament on Thursday approved the plans for the law, which would punish secession, subversion of state power, terrorism and acts that endanger national security – as well as allow Chinese security agencies to operate openly in Hong Kong.The move followed seven months of huge and sometimes violent pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong last year.
