China said on Wednesday it will impose retaliatory sanctions on US individuals and entities after US President Donald Trump signed a law penalising banks doing business with Chinese officials who implement the new Hong Kong national security law.
The foreign ministry said in a statement that Beijing strongly opposes the latest US action and urged Washington to stop interfering in China's internal affairs, state television reported.
The Hong Kong Autonomy Act "maliciously slanders" national security legislation imposed by Beijing on the city, the ministry said in a statement.
"China will make necessary responses to protect its legitimate interests, and impose sanctions on relevant US personnel and entities," the ministry said.
"Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and no foreign country has the right to interfere," the ministry added. (Reuters, AFP)
