China rebukes EU, US politicians for interfering on Hong Kong HongKongProtests
BEIJING - China accused some US and European politicians of interfering in its domestic affairs after they commented on Hong Kong demonstrations that were deemed as supportive of protesters.
Hong Kong police arrested several prominent opposition figures on Friday and warned other protesters could share their fate, raising tensions as the authorities seek to quell pro-democracy demonstrations that have raged for almost three months. The Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong said in a statement on Saturday:"The remarks made by some US politicians disrespect the strict law enforcement by the Hong Kong police."
In a separate statement, the office opposed remarks made by Ms Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
