BEIJING - China on Thursday rejected a review of key developments in Hong Kong by the US State Department.

"We express strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to that document and the irresponsible remarks by the United States," foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Thursday at a daily press briefing.

Hua said that Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong affairs fall within China's domestic affairs and no country has any right to intervene, she said.

She urged the United States to be prudent in its words and actions on affairs concerning Hong Kong.

It is undeniable that the principle of "one country, two systems" and the Basic Law have been comprehensively implemented, and Hong Kong residents have enjoyed their rights and freedoms in accordance with the law since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, according to Hua.

"The Chinese government's resolve to implement 'one country, two systems' and 'Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong' with a high degree of autonomy is unwavering, and will not be changed," she said.
