The US State Department renamed not to decide whether to invite Li Jiachao to attend A

The U.S. State Department earlier claimed to invite Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao to attend the Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization Summit (APEC) held in San Francisco, but the State Council later changed the statement to reiterate that Washington has not made any decisions on the APEC invitation list.

Reuters reported on Thursday (June 8th) that US Deputy Secretary of State Schelman first disclosed the US government's plan to invite Li Jiachao to attend the APEC Summit for the first time, but thisXiang decided to be opposed by the public opinion of Washington, and even initiated a petition petition.

But according to Reuters on Wednesday (June 14), a US State Department spokesman said that the U.S. State Department has not made any decision on the APEC invitation list, and said that the State Council had "inadvertently accidentally missed the wrong mistakes.Reply to the version to Congress ", regrets this mistake.

The spokesman said that the United States has clearly stated that the participation of the APEC summit must comply with US laws and regulations, including sanctions, including sanctions.

The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee also confirmed on Tuesday (13th) that the committee has received a response from the US State Department amending the previous statement and reiterated that it has not been invited to make any decisions.

APEC meeting will be held in San Francisco, USA in November this year. After the United States intends to invite Li Jiachao to attend the summit, four American cross -party members issued a joint statement on Tuesday to express the decision against the United States.The four members said that Li Jiachao was a "co -conspiracy" that violated human rights, and inviting Li Jiachao to attend the summit means to acknowledge that Hong Kong is an economy independent of the People's Republic of China, but according to US law, this is not fact.

In this regard, the Li family reiterated on Tuesday that the APEC summit does not belong to any country or economy, and emphasized that Hong Kong as a member will attend the meeting in accordance with the rules and practice of APEC.

In August 2020, Li Jiachao was sanctioned by the US Ministry of Finance on the grounds that human rights were infringed and harmed Hong Kong's autonomy.The sanctions have not been lifted, which has attracted attention if he can go to the United States to attend the APEC conference.
