"The US intervention over the national security legislation for Hong Kong completely violates international laws and the basic norms of international relations. It is doomed to fail," said China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Monday in Beijing.
The Chinese government is firm in its determination to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and development interests, to implement the principle of "one country, two systems" and to oppose any external interference in Hong Kong affairs, said Zhao.
