China on Monday summoned U.S. Ambassador Terry Branstad to lodge a strong protest against the passing of “Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 ” in the U.S. Congress, an official source said.

In a statement, China’s Foreign Ministry said Vice Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang urged the United States to correct its mistake immediately, stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs and China’s other internal affairs.

“Hong Kong is part of China and Hong Kong affairs are purely China’s internal affairs”, Zeguang stressed.

He accused U.S. Congress of neglecting facts and truth, conniving at and supporting anti-China rabble rousers’ violent crimes.

“It is in serious violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations. China strongly condemns and firmly opposes it,” he further said.
