Beijing said it will take unspecified retaliatory measures against U.S. diplomats in China, including those working in Hong Kong, following earlier moves by the Trump administration to limit the ways Chinese diplomats can operate on U.S. soil.
China notified the U.S. of the “reciprocal” measures being taken against its diplomats, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a statement on Friday evening, without giving any details.
