The US move seriously breached international law, the basic norms of international relations, and the terms of the China-US Consular Convention,” China’s foreign ministry said in a statement last week. “It gravely harmed China-US relations. The measure taken by China is a legitimate and necessary response to the unjustified act by the US. It conforms with international law, the basic norms of international relations, and customary diplomatic practices."
