Trump says Tiananmen Square-style crackdown in HongKong would harm China trade deal
WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned China that carrying out a Tiananmen Square-style crackdown on Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters would harm trade talks between the two countries.
Hong Kong has meanwhile been dealing with more than two months of protests and on Sunday saw a crowd that organizers said numbered some 1.7 million people march peacefully in the city despite rising unrest and stark warnings from Beijing. If such a situation was repeated in Hong Kong, “I think there’d be... tremendous political sentiment not to do something,” Mr Trump said, referring to the trade negotiations with China.
Last week, China’s state-run daily The Global Times said there “won’t be a repeat” of Tiananmen Square in a rare reference to the crackdown.
