Iran Press/ Asia: The results of Sunday’s elections in the city have sent the Beijing-backed government a clear message of public support for the demands of a protest movement that has gripped the territory for months.
Speaking in Tokyo after a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Wang said: “It’s not the final result yet. Let’s wait for the final result, OK? However, it is clear that no matter what happens, Hong Kong is a part of China and a special administrative region of China, AFP reported.
“Any attempt to mess up Hong Kong, or even damage its prosperity and stability, will not succeed,” he said.
"Over the past five months or so, a series of violent crimes in Hong Kong have seriously trampled the rule of law and social order, undermined Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, and challenged the bottom line of the 'one country, two systems' principle."
Hong Kong has been governed under a “one-country, two-system” model since the city -a former British colony- was returned to China in 1997.
