Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Qin Gang said Friday that China will never allow any foreign interference in Hong Kong affairs.

Responding to the comments on the development of Hong Kong's political system made by the U.S. State Department spokesman on Dec. 22, Qin said that Hong Kong is "China's Hong Kong" and affairs concerning Hong Kong Special Administration Region (HKSAR) are China's internal affairs leaving no room for foreign interference.

The U.S. side has once and again made rash comments on Hong Kong affairs for quite a period of time, violating the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs, Qin said.

Qin noted that the non-interference in the domestic affairs of other countries constitutes the basic norm in dealing with international relations.

Qin expressed strong dissatisfaction at and firm opposition against such comments made by the United States.

China asks the U.S. side to stop any comments or acts interfering China's own affairs and putting obstacles in the way of HKSAR government's governance, said Qin.
