China denounces G7 after statement on Xinjiang and Hong Kong - BBC News
Jun 14, 2021 58 secs
China has accused the G7 of "political manipulation" after it criticised Beijing over a range of issues.

"Stop slandering China, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and stop harming China's interests," a spokesman said on Monday.

The G7 statement also called for rights and freedoms to be respected in Hong Kong, where a new security law passed by China last year has made it easier to punish protesters.

The leaders said Hong Kong should retain a "high degree of autonomy", as established under agreements when it was handed back to China in 1997.

China sees democratic Taiwan as a breakaway province, but Taiwan sees itself as a sovereign state.

But the Chinese embassy in the UK opposed the mentions of Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan, which it said distorted the facts and exposed the "sinister intentions of a few countries such as the United States".

A stronger message on China is expected to be issued by leaders of the Nato military alliance at a meeting on Monday.
