US approval of the Hong Kong-related legislation grossly interferes in China's domestic affairs, seriously violates international law and the norms of international relations, which is a naked act of hegemony and firmly opposed by the Chinese government and people, China's foreign ministry said in a statement Thursday.

The US president approved S. 1838, the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019," and S. 2710 on Wednesday. The bills were passed by the US House of Representatives last Wednesday and by the Senate a day before.
