Development and prosperity in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) will not be affected by the latest U.S. attack on the city, China's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
The remark came after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday reaffirmed a decision made last year by the Trump administration that the HKSAR no longer deserved special treatment by the United States.
The U.S first began eliminating policy exemptions that confer the Chinese city with special treatment in 2020, under former U.S. President Donald Trump, which has prompted repeated criticism from China.
On Thursday, Hua again urged the U.S. to stop meddling in China's internal affairs and do more good to bringing China-U.S. relations back to the right track instead of creating obstacles.
