China threatens to take 'strong counter-measures' against US after Hong Kong bill signings

"It is a stark hegemonic practice & a severe interference in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs. China will take strong counter-measures," a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry says.If a deal is not reached by mid-December, additional U.S. tariffs against China would take effect.

Chinese President Xi Jinping chats with President Donald Trump during a welcome ceremony in Beijing on Nov. 9, 2017."China firmly opposes Hong Kong Act. We have made stern representations & strong protests to U.S.," Geng Shuang, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said in a briefing Friday. "It is a stark hegemonic practice & a severe interference in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs. China will take strong counter-measures.

Hong Kong has been in turmoil for months after protests were sparked by a bill that would have permitted extradition to mainland China. Since then, the protests haveThe protests, along with Trump's decision to sign those measures, come as China and the U.S. try to work out a trade deal. Both sides have slapped tariffs on billions of dollars worth of their goods since last year.

Investors fear the signing of these measures could complicate negotiations as a key Dec. 15 deadline approaches. If a deal is not reached by then, an additional round of U.S. tariffs on Chinese products would take effect. Neither the White House nor the U.S. Trade Representative's office responded to CNBC's request for comment on the Chinese spokesman's reported remarks.

realDonaldTrump ICYMI. Are you gonna start your 'fire and fury' language to bark back, or stay quiet to handle the trade tariffs tit-for-tat spat you started?

Bring it. Looking to buy stocks at a discounted rate

Good..

so no Phase 1 soybean purchases?

You can give an eeyore a happy ending, but the miserable beginning remains forever

I asked Eeyore and confirmed Winnie is gonna do that way. Trump must miss those pandas very much and cannot help backing down on the trade negotiation. What a peaceful strongest counter-measure!

Sure, they will cast a CCP spell on Trump to make him die in 200 years.

They’re in no position economically because Trump is putting the squeeze on their economy...idle threats!

Let me tell you what the strongest measure is. I believe Trump must give in. Winne the pooh will announce to take away all the pandas from US. Winne is extremely confident Trump must back down because panda is the most precious gift in the world. Trump, prepared to be freaked out

This despicableanti-freedom murdering communist dictatorship is trying to steal a whole country and the lives of all the people in it, in violation of a contract it has with us, but it's not supposed to be our business. FightforfreedomStandwithHongKong

The show is about to begin (to intensify, to be precise)

Let’s go. Do it. HongKongProtests

Everything is China internal affairs. US signed into law to govern when and how to give Hong Kong special U.S. trading consideration. If that is China’s internal affairs, I guess China should set US trade policies.

Congress cannot pass any legislation for problems in the US, but have to pass a bill regarding another country? Really? Make a case for their democracy, but unnecessary to pass formal legislation which in and of itself is meaningless. Another example of worthless politicians.

Almost 400 years and political position in the world eroded in 3 years

Lol 😂 China is tryna be the tough guy ...

China could really mess you up. they own lots of debt

Alienate China in the middle of the trade talks, while ignoring the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Brilliant.

Sooooo, trade deal. Right? Buy more stocks? Right?

😆

Don’t talk about it, do it!!

so will I when I start fucking xjp95
