China urged the United States to cancel the sanctions introduced due to Hong Kong. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to Beijing’s statement on the results of a meeting with American representatives in Alaska.
“We call on the United States to comply with the international law and the main norms of international relations, respect the decision of the All-China Assembly of People’s Representatives on Improving the Electoral System of Hong Kong,” the statement says.
In China, they said that the United States should stop supporting the forces of supporters of the independence of Hong Kong, “cancel illegal sanctions against Chinese officials and institutions.” It is noted that in other cases Beijing will give Washington “decisive” answer.
The National Security Act of Hong Kong was adopted by the Chinese Parliament on June 30. He gives the right to the authorities of China to stop actions that will be perceived by them as a threat of national security, in particular, to prevent protests and bring their leaders to justice. In Washington, the adoption of the law called Annexia. China insisted that these issues belong to the internal affairs of the country.
Hong Kong returned to China from the Rental by agreement between him and Britain in 1997. According to the joint declaration of China and Britain, the city was promised to be wide autonomy for 50 years.
