What’s Going On?

China and the United States have been talking a lot about Hong Kong lately. Hong Kong is a special place that’s part of China but has its own rules and systems. Sometimes, other countries have opinions about what happens there.

The United States said it would put new visa restrictions on some Hong Kong officials. In response, China decided to do the same to some U.S. officials who they feel are interfering in Hong Kong’s matters.

Why Does This Matter?

This situation shows that China and the United States have some disagreements. It’s important because these two countries are very big and have a lot of influence in the world.

What Is China Saying?

The spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, said that Hong Kong is part of China, and what happens there is China’s own business. She asked the U.S. to respect China’s rules and stop getting involved in Hong Kong’s affairs.
