US has no jurisdiction over Hong Kong – Global Times
|The Editor-in-chief of Chinese and English editions of the Global Times, Hu Xijin, in his much-awaited tweet, responded to the US President Trump’s signing of the Hong Kong human rights bill into law.
Hu tweeted out: “The US has no jurisdiction over Hong Kong. Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act will not entitle such a right to the US. If Washington hopes to turn Hong Kong into an arena of China-US game, it needs to bear moral responsibilities for the potential losses of Hong Kong people.”
