BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday urged the United States to respect China's sovereignty and stop interfering in Hong Kong's affairs.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang made the remarks in response to a recent statement by a U.S. Department of State spokesperson, reportedly expressing "disappointment" over the decision by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government to indict and imprison several organizers of the 2014 illegal "Occupy Central" movement and said the U.S. will follow closely the proposed amendments to the HKSAR's Fugitive Offenders Ordinance.

"China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposes relevant remarks of the U.S. Department of State spokesperson, which disregard the facts and laws," Geng told a press briefing.

Geng said that the illegal "Occupy Central" movement inflicted severe damage on Hong Kong's rule of law, social order, economy and people's livelihood. "Bringing criminal behavior to justice according to law, as a due component of maintaining the rule of law, is widely supported by Hong Kong society."

"The amendments to laws including the Ordinance are necessary measures taken by Hong Kong to cooperate with other regions and countries in fugitives handover," he said, adding that the moves were also aimed at jointly cracking down on crimes and maintaining the rule of law, to prevent Hong Kong from becoming a "crime haven."

Geng said U.S. arbitrary comments and blame on Hong Kong's affairs were a "brutal interference" in the internal affairs of China and the HKSAR.

"We urge the U.S. to respect China's sovereignty and the rule of law in Hong Kong, as well as the 'judicial independence' repeatedly professed by the U.S. side, and stop meddling in Hong Kong's affairs in any form," the spokesperson stressed.
