Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Chinese government has unswerving determination to protect national sovereignty and oppose any external force in interfering in Hong Kong's affairs.

During the 11th BRICS summit in Brazil, Xi said the continuous radical violent activities in Hong Kong seriously trample rule of law and the social order, which disturb Hong Kong's prosperity and stability and challenge the "one country, two systems" principle.

Meanwhile, China’s Foreign Ministry said they have lodged stern representations with the British consulate in Hong Kong today to protest the attack on a Hong Kong government official in London.
