Chinese minister warns US with song about guns
Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu accuses the US of seeking confrontation between the countries. Among other things through the Americans' support for Taiwan and the country's military groups and alliances in the region, reports Bloomberg.
Li says China will always defend its interests, especially when it comes to Taiwan.
- Just like the words in a well-known Chinese song, when friends visit us, we welcome them with wine.
When jackals and wolves come, we meet them with guns, Li said during a speech in Singapore.
The statement comes after ships from the US and Canada passed through the Taiwan Strait.
Opposition politician arrested in Hong Kong - on the anniversary of the massacre in Beijing
Police in Hong Kong have arrested Chan Po-Ying, leader of the opposition Social Democratic Party, in an operation on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. This is reported by AFP.
Chan Po-Yinh is said to have been holding an LED light and two flowers when the police arrested her and brought her into a minibus.
Activist Alexandra Wong has also been detained. Wong, a well-known activist who goes by the nickname "Grandma Wong", was arrested along with five other people earlier on Sunday.
China has restricted access to Tiananmen Square, where several hundred – perhaps several thousand – were killed in a 1989 massacre.
