Key quotes
“The US threats will not frighten China as it has accumulated rich experience in countering the US' unreasonable crackdown.”
“China may resolutely impose sanctions on US companies helping anti-China US politicians in separating China, and may shut down US intelligence agencies in Hong Kong to deal a blow to US politicians spreading anti-China policies.”
The National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, is scheduled to vote on the law on Thursday and therefore markets remain wary over the US’ reaction.
