The U.S. has accused China of behaving like a 'thuggish regime' in a growing spat over protests in Hong Kong.
The U.S. accused China of behaving like a"thuggish regime" in a growing spat over the protests in Hong Kong that have seized the territory for weeks now.
After the report was published, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's commissioner for Hong Kong blasted the U.S. for the meeting and called on Washington"to immediately make a clean break from anti-China forces who stir up trouble in Hong Kong,""refrain from meddling with Hong Kong affairs, and avoid going further down the wrong path."
"This literally happens in every single country in which an American embassy is present, so our diplomat was doing her job and we commend her for her work," said spokesperson Morgan Ortagus. Since June, protests have rocked the territory -- which is formally part of China but is governed by a special Beijing-selected council -- over a controversial bill that would have allowed accused criminals to be extradited to mainland China. That sparked concern over potential human rights abuses and unearthed a deep-seated distrust for many in Hong Kong.
