BEIJING - China has told the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to “step back from the brink” after the PM offered a path to citizenship for up to three million Hong Kong residents threatened by Beijing’s draconian new security law.
Zhao Lijian, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, said Britain has “no sovereignty, no jurisdiction and no supervision over Hong Kong”. He also said that Johnson must “immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong’s affairs… or this will definitely backfire”.
