As the diplomat noted, the United States passed the law, "ignoring the protest of China," which became a "serious violation of international law and the basic norms of international relations."
She also said that it was about meddling in the internal affairs of China.
“Beijing has expressed its strongest protest in this regard. In response, China decided to impose sanctions on a number of US non-governmental organizations, including NDI, HRW, Freedom House, ”RIA Novosti quoted Chunying as saying.
In late November, U.S. leader Donald Trump signed into Hong Kong with the Democracy and Human Rights Act.
At the same time, Trump noted that he signed it "with respect to the President of China Xi Jinping, China and the people of Hong Kong."
Later, the Chinese Foreign Ministry called the American ambassador to Beijing, Terry Branstead, and expressed his protest in connection with the signing of the law.
