China strongly condemned the UK after it announced plans to extend residency rights for British National (Overseas) passport holders in Hong Kong.

China reserves the right to take countermeasures against Britain, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian at a press conference on July 2, 2020. Video source: CCTV
