TOKYO - While the world focuses on the detention of Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai, it was the plight of 23-year-old activist Agnes Chow that has made the battle over human rights in the city personal for many in Japan.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing in Beijing that Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and Tokyo should stop interfering.Beijing's clampdown on Hong Kong, as well as China's ratcheting up of tensions around disputed East China Sea islands and its standoff with the United States, had already shaken the relationship between Asia's two largest economies.
She was released about a day later, prompting a fresh hashtag that can be translated as"Agnes Chow freed on bail" to trend on Twitter on Wednesday in Japan.
