MACAU/HONG KONG: Chinese President Xi Jinping warned outsiders to keep out of Hong Kong and Macau affairs on Friday (Dec 20) during the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the former Portuguese colony's return to Chinese rule.
"I want to stress here that, after the return of Hong Kong and Macau to the motherland, the affairs of the two special administrative regions are completely China's internal affairs, which need no finger-pointing from any external forces," Xi said at a reception dinner attended by 600 dignitaries.
