China ready to respond if US implements Hong Kong Autonomy Act : Ambassador to Russia

Moscow, Jul 31 (Sputnik) China is firmly opposed to the United States’ Hong Kong Autonomy Act, which was recently adopted by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump, and Beijing stands ready to respond with measures of its own should Washington implement the legislation, the country’s ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui told Sputnik in an interview.
The Hong Kong Autonomy Act, which was signed into law by President Trump on July 14, would introduce sanctions on individuals who are involved in the implementation of China’s new security law in the special administrative region. Zhang said that Washington’s reaction is unacceptable and constitutes a violation of both international law and the basic norms of international relations.
“The Chinese government strongly opposes the so-called Hong Kong Autonomy Act adopted by the US Congress. China strongly condemns the US for malicious libel against the national security law of Hong Kong, for threatening to impose sanctions against China, for serious violations of international law and the basic norms of international relations, for gross interference in Hong Kong and China's domestic affairs,” the ambassador said.
