HK accuses Taiwan of ‘interfering’ in its internal affairs

HONG KONG: Hong Kong on Friday said it has pulled all of its staff out of Taiwan and accused it of having “grossly interfered” in the Chinese city’s internal affairs. Taiwan said Hong Kong had politicised a connection that was dedicated to serving the public, and that it supports universal values of free speech and assembly. Hong Kong said its Economic, Trade and Cultural Office will remain closed while it closely monitors development and considers the way forward “in a holistic manner”.
