TOKYO -- Hours after Japan and the U.S. named Taiwan in a leader's summit statement for the first time in more than five decades, China hit back at the communique that also highlighted the two allies' concerns over Hong Kong and human rights issues in Xinjiang.
"These matters bear on China's fundamental interests and allow no interference. We express strong concern and firm opposition to relevant comments in the Joint Leaders' Statement," a spokesperson at the Chinese embassy said in a statement on Saturday.
