China accused some U.S. and European politicians of interfering in its domestic affairs after they commented on Hong Kong demonstrations that were deemed as supportive of protesters.
The Hong Kong branch of China’s foreign ministry on Saturday described demonstrators as criminals and extremists, and said support for them equates to “favoring and condoning lawless and violent acts.”
