   BEIJING -- China summoned a U.S. envoy in Beijing on Friday to protest
   against remarks by Washington about Hong Kong's controversial
   extradition bill.

   Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng summoned Robert Forden, deputy chief
   of mission at the U.S. embassy in Beijing, to lodge the protest, the
   Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement.

   Le said China did not accept foreign forces meddling in Hong Kong
   affairs. "China called on the United States ... to immediately stop all
   interference in Hong Kong's affairs and stop taking action that would
   affect the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong," the statement said.
   "China will proceed with its next step based on the action taken by the
   U.S."
