China Summons US Ambassador to Protest Bill on Hong Kong Human Rights

VOA News

   China summoned the U.S. ambassador in Beijing Thursday to "strongly
   protest" President Donald Trump's signing of bills on Hong Kong's human
   rights.

   Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng told Ambassador Terry Branstad
   the move constituted "serious interference in China's internal affairs"
   and described the action as a "serious violation of international law,"
   a statement from the foreign ministry said. He urged Washington to
   refrain from implementing the bills to "avoid further damage" to
   U.S.-China relations.
