Hong Kong’s Beijing Diplomat Issues Strict Warnings to New US Consul General
Beijing’s top diplomat in Hong Kong, Cui Jianchun, recently issued four strict red lines to the new U.S. Consul General during a meeting focused on maintaining China’s sovereignty and non-interference in Hong Kong’s internal affairs.
Cui emphasized the following key points for the U.S. Consul General:
- Respect China’s sovereignty.
- Adhere to the principle of non-interference in Hong Kong’s internal matters.
- Abide by these guidelines to ensure stable bilateral relations.
- Avoid actions that may threaten China’s national security interests.
This development comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and China regarding Hong Kong’s political environment. The Chinese government remains determined to limit foreign influence, particularly in sensitive issues related to national security.
The strict warnings highlight Beijing’s increasingly tough stance toward U.S. diplomatic conduct in the city, as noted in a statement issued by Cui’s office on Thursday.
The new U.S. Consul General faces the challenge of balancing these clear restrictions while advancing American interests in Hong Kong’s complex political landscape.
