dialogue, reconciliation and community engagement. All stakeholders must renounce violence and

但是中國也很強硬：11/7（日）
China's embassy in Paris has slammed the European Union for what it
called its "criminal" support of Hong Kong protesters and its
criticism of the police clampdown.
中國駐巴黎大使館抨擊歐盟「犯罪般的」支持香港示威者，以及歐盟也批評了警察鎮壓。
Accusing the EU of having "publicly glorified the abuses of
rioters", the embassy on Monday labelled the EU's call for de-escalation
"criminal and very dangerous", affirming police's right to
self-determination.
週一，使館指責歐盟「公開讚揚了騷亂者的虐待」，稱歐盟要求降溫是「犯罪和非常危險的」，反而肯定了警察自行判斷的權利。
