Chinese Foreign Ministry's Arm in Hong Kong Criticizes US for Renewing Emergency Status for City.
The foreign ministry commissioner's office in Hong Kong has lashed out at the United States for renewing the city's "emergency status." In an executive order, President Joe Biden extended the national emergency on Hong Kong, which had previously granted the city special privileges.
The move, which is subject to renewal annually, was met with criticism from the Chinese Foreign Ministry's arm in Hong Kong.
The office argued that the US decision goes against the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs.
The foreign ministry commissioner's office in Hong Kong also accused the US of hypocrisy, citing instances where the US has interfered in other countries' domestic matters.
The office called on the US to respect China's sovereignty and not to act in a way that could escalate tensions between the two countries.
The renewal of the national emergency on Hong Kong comes amidst increasing tensions between the US and China.
The two countries have been at odds over a range of issues, including human rights, trade, and technology.
The US has been a vocal critic of China's policies in Hong Kong, including the city's anti-mask laws and the treatment of pro-democracy protesters.
In response, China has accused the US of interference and has taken a hardline stance on issues related to Hong Kong.
The renewal of the national emergency on Hong Kong is part of the US government's efforts to maintain a strong stance against China.
The executive order gives the US government the authority to impose sanctions on individuals or entities that it determines have engaged in human rights abuses or are otherwise undermining Hong Kong's autonomy.

However, it has also been criticized by some who argue that it could exacerbate tensions between the US and China and lead to unintended consequences for the people of Hong Kong.
Overall, the renewal of the national emergency on Hong Kong highlights the complex and fraught relationship between the US and China, as both sides jockey for influence in the region and
