The U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong condemned the Hong Kong government after Hong Kong schools were allegedly warned against attending U.S. Independence Day celebrations.
“We condemn the Hong Kong government’s repression of U.S. Independence Day celebrations and interference in U.S. consulate-hosted events. Its attempts to characterize these activities as ‘unlawful’ only further reveal its insecurity and fear of freedom,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Consulate said.
