Beijing warned Washington of retaliation after President Donald Trump announced restrictions on Chinese students in the US in protest over a new national security law in Hong Kong.
Trump said Friday that the United States would ban some Chinese graduate students and start reversing Hong Kong’s special status in customs and other areas, as Beijing moves ahead with a plan to impose a controversial security law.
The US President said the Chinese Government had been “diminishing the city’s longstanding and very proud status”. But China reacted angrily to the moves on Monday, saying it was “detrimental to both sides”.
