HONG KONG: China's foreign ministry branch in Hong Kong said new US sanctions on Chinese officials and its updated business advisory on the city are"extremely rude" and"extremely unreasonable" bullying acts with"despicable intention".
The United States imposed sanctions on Friday on seven Chinese officials over Beijing's crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong, Washington's latest effort to hold China accountable for what it calls an erosion of rule of law in the former British colony.The Biden administration also issued an advisory on Friday to warn US businesses about risks to their operations and activities in Hong Kong after China's imposition of a new national security law in Hong Kong last year.
" worries about Hong Kong's business environment are fake; its attempt to destroy Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, endanger China's national security, and hamper China's development is real," he said in the statement.He added the implementation of the security law has reinforced Hong Kong's position as an international financial and business hub, and US sanctions and pressures are no more than"a waste paper" which will not stop China from growing.
"The US Administration's latest attempt to issue a so-called 'advisory' ... based on totally ridiculous and unfounded fear-mongering about the situation in Hong Kong only serves to prove yet again its hypocrisy and double standards, driven by ideological hegemony," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Only china have true despicable intentions.
