Blinken deletes, replaces tweet vowing US will 'stand with the people of Hong Kong'
Fox News
Antony Blinken has deleted a tweet which seemingly criticized the Chinese government and showed support from the United States for the people of Hong Kong.
Blinken's tweet came after China moved to dismiss seven pro-democracy councilors two days after they were to submit information to help determine whether their oaths of office were valid.
Following the deletion of the tweet, the same account later issued another tweet that read: "The PRC's disqualification of seven pro-democracy district councillors undermines the ability of people in Hong Kong to participate in their governance. Governments should serve the people they represent. Decreasing representation goes against the spirit of Hong Kong's Basic Law."
