Tehran, YJC. -- China called a US claim that it had facilitated the departure of former security contractor Edward Snowden from Hong Kong "groundless," on Tuesday, after Washington said Beijing had chosen to release him.
"It is unreasonable for the US to question Hong Kong's handling of affairs in accordance with law, and the accusation against the Chinese central government is groundless," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular press briefing in Beijing. "China cannot accept that."
