‘Absolutely intolerable’: China slams US and EU Hong Kong Tiananmen candles
Tributes lit in the windows of the US consulate building and the European Union’s office are a ‘political show’, says China
China has berated the US and EU consulates in Hong Kong for displaying candles to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre , blasting it as a “clumsy political show” to destabilise the city.
Candles were seen lit in the windows of the US consulate building, which is next to the residence of Hong Kong’s Beijing-appointed leader Carrie Lam, and the European Union’s office on Friday night.
