- Story Text: China's foreign ministry said on Tuesday (August 27) that Beijing is resolutely opposed to a statement from the G7 summit that referenced the current unrest in Hong Kong.
"China is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to the statement from the G7 leaders' summit which made irresponsible remarks and unwarranted accusations about Hong Kong matters," the ministry's spokesman Geng Shuang made the remarks during a daily press briefing.
The G7 group "reaffirms the existence and importance of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984 on Hong Kong and calls for violence to be avoided," according to the statement.
