China has called out the U.S. for imposing visa restrictions on Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) officials enforcing its National Security Law, urging Washington to 'stop meddling' in the region's affairs. 🔥
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the U.S. move 'blatantly interferes with China's internal matters,' emphasizing that Hong Kong is 'an inalienable part of China.' The remarks follow U.S. sanctions targeting officials overseeing the law, which Beijing says safeguards stability against 'foreign interference.' 🛡️
Analysts say this clash highlights escalating tensions over governance principles. 'Hong Kong’s legal framework is its own business,' the spokesperson added, comparing the National Security Law to counterterrorism measures globally. 🌏
The dispute puts a spotlight on cross-Pacific diplomacy as young professionals and travelers watch how East-West legal dynamics unfold. 💼✈️
