Hey there! π Have you heard about what’s been happening between China and the European Union (that’s the EU)? Let’s break it down together!
Recently, an official from the EU made some comments on social media about Hong Kong. China wasn’t too happy about that. The Chinese Mission to the EU (which is like China’s team in Europe) responded by saying that Hong Kong’s matters are part of China’s internal affairs.
They mentioned that the Hong Kong police took action against some people who moved overseas and were involved in activities that could cause trouble. China says these actions follow Hong Kong’s laws, especially the Law on Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong. This law is about keeping Hong Kong safe and secure.
The Chinese spokesperson said, “In Hong Kong, laws are important! If someone breaks the law, they should be held responsible.”
They also asked the EU to respect China’s rights and not support people who might be causing problems in Hong Kong.
So, what’s the big idea? China wants everyone to know that Hong Kong is a part of China, and they want other countries to respect that and let them handle their own matters.
Pretty interesting stuff, right? πβ¨
