China will resolutely respond to acts of interference in its internal affairs, a spokesman for the country’s embassy to the United Kingdom said on Tuesday, after Britain announced it would suspend its extradition treaty with Hong Kong. The spokesman said the UK has repeatedly violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, and will “bear the consequences if it insists on going down the wrong road.'' Earlier on Monday, Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, said that Beijing would respond resolutely to actions that meddle in China's affairs: "Britain has recently made some erroneous remarks and measures concerning Hong Kong... we urge the UK to take no more steps down the wrong path, so as to avoid further damage to China-UK relations.
