[FONT=&]Singapore must be cautious on the issue of the confiscation of its military vehicles in Hong Kong, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Monday (9 January).
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Spokesman Lu Kang said at a ministry briefing, “I hope the relevant parties can be cautious in their remarks and actions,” according to a report by The South China Morning Post.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Lu said that the Hong Kong government was handling the matter in accordance with the law.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]
“I want to stress that China hopes other nations, including Singapore, follow the one-China principle. This is the foundation for bilateral ties between China and any other nation. I hope the relevant parties can follow the laws of Hong Kong, China.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&]
The remarks come hours after Singapore Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen told Parliament that the Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicles enjoy sovereign immunity and cannot legally be confiscated by other countries.
