Donald Trump warns China to work humanely with Hong Kong and invites President Xi for meeting via Twitter
DONALD Trump warned China to work “humanely” with Hong Kong if it wants a trade deal and invited President Xi for a meeting via Twitter.
Trump also used Twitter to suggest a personal meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to help resolve the crisis.
Reports claim there was an internal debate within the White House over whether the US was looking too compliant as the Chinese appeared to be preparing for a crackdown. "The continued erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy puts at risk its long-established special status in international affairs," she said. He said protests had yet to reach a level that would compel Beijing to send them in. "I don’t think they’ve reached any tipping points," the official said.
