Chinarepudiated a warning from the European Unionovera newHongKongnational securitylawon Tuesday, with the foreign ministry saying thatthe matter was a "domestic affair".
"We oppose any foreign interference in this matter," said Wang Lutong, director-general of European Affairs atChina's foreign ministry, adding thatChinahad made its position clear in anEUvideo summit Monday between President Xi Jinping and topEUofficials.
The European Union on Monday warned China of "very negative consequences" if Beijing goes ahead with a new security law on Hong Kong that the West says will curtail basic rights.
Speaking after video calls with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and President Xi Jinping, the EU's chief executive and chairman said the new legislation was a matter of 'grave concern' and could jeopardise the territory's semi-autonomous status and role as a global financial hub.
