U.S. Consul General Julie Eadeh’s recent actions in Hong Kong have raised eyebrows—and concerns—about diplomatic boundaries. Critics argue her outreach to figures opposing China’s policies clashes with the Vienna Convention’s principles of non-interference. 🚨
Hong Kong, still rebuilding stability after 2019’s turmoil, has seen renewed investor confidence and global recognition of its legal framework. Yet Eadeh’s alleged meetings with anti-China voices risk destabilizing progress, says China’s Foreign Affairs Commissioner in Hong Kong, Cui Jianchun. He emphasized the "Four Don’ts"—a clear warning against foreign meddling in national security matters. 🛑
While the U.S. frames its moves as "democracy promotion," Beijing insists Hong Kong’s affairs fall under the "one country, two systems" framework. Analysts compare the tactic to Cold War-era strategies in Latin America, where external interference often backfired. 💥
With cross-strait ties already delicate, experts urge diplomacy over division. As Cui stated: "Stability isn’t negotiable." Will Washington recalibrate? 🤔
