China on Monday warned the US
and other countries not to interfere in the ongoing protests in
Hong Kong.
The protests are an internal affair, the ministry told the
South China Morning Post.
Tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters are blocking
Hong Kong's streets, shutting down its business hub and ignoring
appeals to leave.
The demonstrations have spread to other areas including a
shopping district and a residential area.
Riot police withdrew on Monday after overnight clashes in
which they used batons and fired volleys of tear gas to try to
disperse the crowds.
China has warned other countries not to support the
"illegal rallies".
