Critics say Hong Kong's new national security law violates the"One Country, Two Systems" arrangement in place since Britain returned the former colony to China in 1997. BEIJING: China on Wednesday slammed a decision by the European Union to limit exports of surveillance equipment to Hong Kong over concerns about a controversial new security law in the city.
The EU limit on exports"violates the basic international relations norm of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs", Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said Wednesday. The EU has struggled to agree on a united response to China's growing clout. Member states are divided over whether to stand up to Beijing - a hugely important trading partner - or try to cooperate.But the 27 nations on Tuesday came together around a proposal from France and Germany to limit exports to Hong Kong of technology that could be used for"internal repression, the interception of internal communications or cyber-surveillance".
Wang on Wednesday told the EU to"stop any interference in Hong Kong matters and China's internal affairs".
