The U.S. published a map of planned protests in Russia and has been meeting with opposition figures from 'China's Hong Kong' in moves deemed unacceptable by Moscow and Beijing.
Protesters hold a U.S. flag as they gather in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, August 3 in opposition to a planned extradition law that has evolved into a wider movement for reforms. As protests grew increasingly violent, China has pointed to the appearance of U.S. flags as evidence of foreign involvement.Russia and China have called on the United States to stop promoting protests that have sprung up in both countries, considering it a violation of their sovereignty.
The ministry said Friday it summoned senior U.S. diplomat Tim Richardson over the affair, during which it was"emphasized that we regard the placement of the scheme for holding an illegal event drawn up by the organizers as agitation in favor of participating in it and a call to action, which is an attempt to intervene in the internal affairs of our country."
It wasn't just Russia facing unrest encouraged by the West, China has been rocked by months of mounting protests in the special administrative region of Hong Kong. The demonstrations began earlier this year after news broke of a proposed bill that could see residents of semi-autonomous Hong Kong extradited to face courts or sentencing handed down by the central government in Beijing.for the densely-populated, economic powerhouse as violence between protesters and police escalated.
Firing back at these remarks Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that"the frequent U.S. interference in Hong Kong affairs will surely be met with firm opposition and strong indignation from all Chinese people including those in Hong Kong."
