In a move that's stirring up global headlines, China just gave the U.S. a dose of its own medicine! 🇨🇳✨ On Tuesday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning announced that China is slapping visa restrictions on U.S. personnel who've been acting \"egregiously\" over Hong Kong-related issues.
This comes hot on the heels after the U.S. declared new visa restrictions on multiple Hong Kong officials involved in implementing the Hong Kong national security law. Talk about a tit-for-tat! 🎯
\"We've made clear our serious position on relevant moves of the U.S. side,\" Mao stressed during a press conference. She didn't hold back, accusing the U.S. of grossly interfering in China's internal affairs and violating international law. Yikes! 😬
Mao emphasized that Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong, and affairs there are purely internal. She urged the U.S. to respect China's sovereignty and stop meddling in Hong Kong's business. \"Respect Hong Kong's rule of law and stop interfering in whatever form,\" she pressed.
China's decision aligns with its Law on Foreign Relations and the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law. Basically, they're standing firm on safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests. 🚀
Seems like the diplomatic dance between these two superpowers just got a bit more intense! Stay tuned, world. 🌍👀
