HONG KONG, April 6 (Xinhua) -- China on Sunday voiced objection to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden's meeting with two Hong Kong former legislators and called on the United States to refrain from interfering in Hong Kong's affairs.

One spokesman of office of the Commissioner of the Foreign Ministry of China in Hong Kong said Hong Kong's affairs are China' s internal affairs. China objects firmly to any country's interference in China's internal affairs in any form.

The spokesman made the comments when asked to respond to Biden' s meeting with two Hong Kong activists on Friday.

White House said Biden stopped by talks with former Hong Kong Legislative Council member Lee Chu-ming and former Chief Secretary Chan Fang On-sang. They are on a two-week visit to North America.
