Cui Jianchun, commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, met with Julie Eadeh, the United States consul general in Hong Kong, on Tuesday to lodge solemn representations regarding her conduct since she took up her post in August.

In a statement released on Thursday, Cui urged Eadeh to abide by fundamental norms governing international relations including non-interference in domestic affairs and making a clean break with anti-China forces.

Cui explicitly set out the requirements:

- Do not meet people who a consul general should not meet with;

- Do not collude with anti-China forces;

- Do not instigate, assist, abet or fund any activities that undermine stability in Hong Kong;

- Do not interfere with national security cases in Hong Kong.
