China's FM: No external interference in HK affairs

China's Foreign Ministry has warned Britain and other nations to stay out of China's domestic affairs, specifically issues surrounding Hong Kong.

The ministry was responding to the latest report by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office on the situation in Hong Kong.

"The Central Government of China resumed its sovereignty over Hong Kong on July 1, 1997. Since then, Hong Kong has been a special administrative region of China. The so-called ‘responsibility’ that the British side claims to have over Hong Kong simply does not exist. Hong Kong affairs are completely China's domestic affairs. No foreign country has any right to interfere in them in any form," Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesman Hong Lei said.

The UK government presented its latest six-monthly report to parliament Thursday. During Friday's news briefing, China's foreign ministry said the "one country, two systems" model had been a great success, and was globally recognized.

The ministry said China's Central Government will continue to implement the policy and uphold Chinese laws.

The ministry also said the government will firmly support Hong Kong's democratic development, and safeguard Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
