Angry China! Call the US & European Union Stupid, Touch Sensitive Questions

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – China condemned the United States (US) and European Union (EU) in Hong Kong for displaying candles to commemorate the June 4 Tiananmen tragedy.

Even China has called this a “sleazy political show” to destabilize the city. Citing from AFP on Saturday (05/06/2021) mentioned candles lit in the US consulate building.

The building is next to the residence of Hong Kong’s Beijing-appointed leader Carrie Lam, and the European Union office on Friday night. A candlelit photo of the Tiananmen memorial was also posted on social media.

“Any attempt to exploit Hong Kong to carry out infiltration or sabotage activities against the mainland across the red line is completely intolerable,” said a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry office in Hong Kong.

It was further emphasized that China urges relevant state organizations located in Hong Kong to immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs.

“We once again urge the organs of the relevant countries in Hong Kong to immediately … stop interfering in the affairs of Hong Kong and the internal affairs of China at large, and avoid playing with fire,” he said.

For three decades in Hong Kong, thousands of people have lit candles every June 4 in memory of those who died on June 4, 1989, when tanks and troops crushed pro-democracy protests in Beijing.

Crowds have swelled in recent years as Hong Kongers feel stifled under Beijing’s increasingly assertive rule.

But this year’s commemoration has been banned at the time by Hong Kong authorities. Violent action was taken against differences of opinion.
