China Responds Firmly to U.S. Interference in Internal Affairs

China Responds Firmly to U.S. Interference in Internal Affairs

China condemns U.S. actions regarding Tibet and Hong Kong, emphasizing sovereignty and national security.
On April 1, 2025, China’s Foreign Ministry condemned the United States for interfering in its internal affairs, particularly regarding issues related to the Xizang Autonomous Region (commonly known as Tibet) and Hong Kong.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun labeled the U.S. stance as 'gross interference,' following announcements by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio about visa restrictions on certain Chinese officials related to Xizang.

Guo asserted that the U.S. actions violate international law and the fundamental norms that guide international relations.

He emphasized that Xizang is an open region, noting that it welcomed 320,000 foreign tourists in 2024. While the Chinese government enforces specific regulations for foreign visitors to ensure safety given Xizang’s unique geographic and climatic conditions, Guo noted that such measures are entirely necessary and lawful.

He reiterated China’s invitation for foreign entities to visit and engage in business under the framework of Chinese laws.

In a related context, Guo condemned the U.S. report on Hong Kong, claiming it contained numerous falsehoods and misinformation that distort the region's legal framework and governmental practices.

He stated that China's implementation of the Law on Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong serves to protect the rights of Hong Kong residents and maintain the stability of the 'one country, two systems' principle, which has guided the governance of Hong Kong since its return to Chinese sovereignty.

The spokesperson reaffirmed that Hong Kong affairs are internal to China, urging the U.S. to adhere to international law and cease its interventions.

Adding to these developments, during a visit to Russia, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi articulated his stance on the ongoing trade tensions with the U.S., indicating that any continued pressure could elicit firm countermeasures from Beijing.

He remarked on the need for bilateral respect and cooperative dialogue, particularly regarding issues such as tariffs and the fentanyl crisis.

Wang underscored the strategic nature of China-Russia relations, highlighting their mutual commitment to promoting global multipolarity and stability amidst changing international dynamics.

Furthermore, on the topic of border agreements, China expressed its congratulations to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan for successfully signing an agreement that resolves longstanding border issues, marking a positive step towards regional cooperation and stability.
