China summoned US Ambassador Terry Branstad to demand that the United States instantly stop interfering in its internal affairs and stop causing additional damage to bilateral relations, the Chinese foreign ministry said, APA reports citing Sputnik.
China’s Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng summoned Branstad after Donald Trump signed legislation into law which banned the export of crowd control weapons to Hong Kong police.
Earlier in the day, Beijing threatened it would have to take serious countermeasures because of the US’ new law, which constituted "unconcealed hegemonic behaviour" and meddling in China’s domestic affairs.
Note that US President Donald Trump signed a bill into law that bans the export of crowd control weapons to Hong Kong police and supports human rights in the city.
