A pro-Beijing group on Saturday called on the United States to close its consulate here and pull out of Hong Kong after Washington ordered China to shut its Houston mission.
Four members of the Defenders of Hong Kong staged a protest outside the US consulate in Central, throwing eggs at pictures of President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, while condemning them as "sinners" and "devils".
The group said the US had imposed unfair tariffs and sanctions against China, and had wrongly accused China of spreading the coronavirus when the US failed to contain the virus.
They said they could not let US hegemony have it way, saying in a statement: “Just because Chinese people are nice doesn’t mean they should be bullied."
The group's founder, Johnson Hung, also accused the United States of orchestrating civil unrest here.
“They are the trainer, teaching all those rebels in Hong Kong to [be] against the China government, to destroy Hong Kong and making a lot of troubles and crimes against the people of Hong Kong and the government of China,” he said.
“That is an open secret already. If they are still here, they're only creating more troubles,” Hung added.
