Da-mi, tell us more.
Mark, China officially turned down U.S. President Donald Trump's tweet that he hopes Beijing would humanely cope with protesters in Hong Kong.
This came from Hua Chunying, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesperson on Thursday.
She said "Hong Kong affairs are entirely China's internal affairs."
The spokesperson noted Trump's previous comments that "Hong Kong is a part of China and that they'll have to deal with that themselves."
Emphasizing they don't need advice, she added China hopes "the U.S side will keep its word."
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump proposed Chinese President Xi Jinping to have a face-to-face meeting with Hong Kong protesters to help resolve the crisis.
He said he has ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it...suggesting a personal meeting.
