Beijing lodged stern representations with the United Kingdom on Wednesday over its foreign secretary’s remarks on Hong Kong.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Britain had no jurisdiction or supervision over the city, and that any threat to the city’s stability and prosperity comes from foreign forces, Reuters reported.

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab warned Beijing on Tuesday over an “authoritarian” national security law and urged it to “respect” Hong Kong’s autonomy.

China also said on Wednesday a news report that claimed it delayed sharing Covid-19 information with the World Health Organization (WHO) was totally untrue.
