China said on Thursday that the Group of Seven nations should stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs, responding to a joint statement issued by G7 foreign ministers calling for a halt to the national security legislation planned for the city.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters at a daily briefing that China expressed strong indignation and opposition to the G7 statement.
