Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Guo Shaochun has drawn parallels between disturbances in Hong Kong and attempts at destabilisation in Zimbabwe at the instance of some Western powers.
In remarks this week, Ambassador Guo said developments in Hong Kong drew parallels with what has been witnessed in Zimbabwe.
“Recently, some Western countries and organisations are doing the same with Hong Kong to incite riots and violence,” he said.
“The facts and truth must be exposed to the world . . . if the similar activities took place in any city in Western countries, no government would turn a blind eye to them.
“Though China and Zimbabwe are geographically apart, what happened in Hong Kong may not be unfamiliar to Zimbabweans especially when some members of US Congress, once again, proposed the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which cannot, but remind people of the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001.”
Ambassador Guo said it was an old trick by the US to use sanctions to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs.
“The practices of some countries towards Zimbabwe and Hong Kong have once again exposed their hypocrisy and double standards.”
