Japan stresses to China importance of free, open Hong Kong

- Japan
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi on Monday told his Chinese counterpart that he is highly concerned about the Hong Kong situation and it is important that a free and open Hong Kong keeps on prospering under the "one country, two systems" model, a Japanese government official said.
The official talked to a media briefing after a meeting in Tokyo between Motegi and China's state councilor and foreign minister, Wang Yi.
Prolonged pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong are posing the biggest popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012.
