On the same day, the Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) also strongly condemned European Parliament’s motion, describing it as a hypocritical double standard based on ignorance and bias, the office said in a statement.

China is unsatisfied with some members of European Parliament’s ignorance of the violent attacks occurred during protests and coldness on those injured police officers attacked by violent protesters, the statement also said.

Commissioner's office of China's foreign ministry in HK also urges relevant members of the European Parliament to recognize the facts and stop further debate and promotion on the motion related with Hong Kong issues which entirely belong to the sphere of China's internal affairs.
