The Hong Kong government has hit back at accusations in a US congressional commission annual report that Beijing has failed to honour its international obligations to protect the city’s autonomy and human rights, saying its remarks are “fact-twisting”.
The report, released on Wednesday, also cited the legal team of jailed former media boss Jimmy Lai Chee-ying as saying that he “spent over 23 hours a day in his cell and was deprived of independent medical care”, which the government said was “completely baseless”.
