China has called on the United States to stop meddling in Hong Kong, the day after President Donald Trump weighed in on the ongoing protests rocking the Asian financial hub, APA reports quoting Sputnik.
China's Foreign Ministry stated in a statement that Hong Kong, a semiautonomous region in southern China, falls exclusively within the domain of its domestic affairs.
The foreign ministry has also urged the US to stop "meddling in Hong Kong affairs".
The comments came in response to Donald Trump's claims that Chinese troops have been moving to the border with Hong Kong.
