China has issued a stern warning to U.S. diplomat Gregory May, urging him to keep his hands off Hong Kong affairs. 😲
In a recent interview, May made remarks about Hong Kong, alleging that rights and freedoms in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) are \"eroded.\" These comments didn't sit well with China's Foreign Ministry's office in Hong Kong, which expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation. 💥
\"After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, Hong Kong society has returned to stability, and citizens' lawful rights are effectively safeguarded,\" a spokesperson for the Commissioner's Office said on Tuesday.
The spokesperson emphasized, \"There is no absolute freedom in the world. Freedom has never been without boundaries, constraints, or limits.\"
The message to May was clear: as a representative of the U.S. government in Hong Kong, he should adhere to the basic professional ethics and conduct guidelines of consular officials. China hopes he can do more to promote cooperation between Hong Kong and the U.S., rather than \"concocting lies and attacking Hong Kong.\" 🤝
This diplomatic drama highlights the ongoing tensions between China and the U.S. over Hong Kong. It's a reminder that the city remains a focal point in international relations, and young people around the world are watching closely. 👀
