(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist), Beijing; China on Wednesday warned the US that President Donald Trump would surely respond with sanctions if he implemented the ‘Hong Kong Autonomy Act’ to end Hong Kong’s preferential status. President Trump has signed an executive order to end preferential trade status for Hong Kong after China introduced a controversial national security law at this Asian trading center to curb Hong Kong’s autonomy and democratic independence.
Reacting to Donald Trump’s signing of the ‘Hong Kong Autonomy Act’, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said the US should not implement it. He told it in a media conference here, “We appeal to America to rectify our mistake.” Do not implement the so-called ‘Hong Kong Autonomy Act’ and stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs immediately.
He said, ‘This act will affect our law on national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. If the US insists on going the wrong way, then China will surely retaliate. He said that America’s attempt to obstruct China’s national security law for Hong Kong would be of no avail and China would continue to pursue its legitimate interests. They will take necessary action for defense and will ban related US personnel and institutions.
