Vice President Biden underscored Washington\u2019s \u201clong-standing support for democracy in Hong Kong and for the city\u2019s high degree of autonomy under the ‘one country, two systems’ framework<\/em>,\u201d the White House said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In response, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it \u201cfirmly opposes any countries meddling in the city’s internal affairs in any way,\u201d South China Morning Post quoted.<\/p>\n

\u201cHong Kong affairs are China’s internal affairs,<\/em>\u201d said a spokesperson for the Office of the Commissioner of the Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

The official added that Hong Kong is currently going through a sensitive political reform period.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We] would hope the US would be cautious of their words and actions regarding Hong Kong affairs and not let Hong Kong issues impede Sino-American relations<\/em>,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the activists\u2019 concerns over press freedom and other core values in Hong Kong, the spokesperson said that \u201cOver the past 17 years since Hong Kong’s return, the region has seen the successful implementation of the ‘one country, two systems’ framework, which contributed to Hong Kong’s great socioeconomic and democratic development<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, the people in Hong Kong are enjoying unprecedented democratic rights and freedom, which has won international acclaim,<\/em>” the official added, as quoted by Xinhua news agency.<\/p>\n
