Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned that he is ready to smash every plot to divide the country from outside forces.

"Anyone who plots to divide China, wherever it is in the country, will have to end in shredded flesh," Chinese President Xi Jinping today told Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. in a meeting. "Any outside forces that stand behind the plot to divide China will be considered illusion by the Chinese people."

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli meanwhile said Nepal would oppose "all anti-China activities" in its territory. President Xi began a state visit to Nepal yesterday. This is the first time in 22 years that a top Chinese leader has visited Nepal. The two sides are expected to sign an agreement to expand the rail network between Tibet and Nepal.

The message was given by President Xi in the context that China is facing complicated developments in protests that have lasted nearly four months in Hong Kong.

US President Donald Trump once said that trade negotiations with China would be very difficult if Beijing could not handle the protests in Hong Kong well. The White House boss also discussed the issue of Hong Kong with Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Liu He during a trade talks on October 12.

Protests erupted in Hong Kong in early June to protest the extradition bill that allows Hong Kong to bring suspects to trial in jurisdictions without extradition treaties, including mainland China. . The chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced a complete withdrawal of the bill, but protesters continued to take to the streets.

Protests in Hong Kong became a major debate in the US. The foreign affairs committee of the US congressional house in September passed a law supporting "democratic freedoms in Hong Kong" by putting pressure on Chinese authorities. The bill will be voted in bicameral in the near future.

In addition, China is facing increasing international criticism of what it calls "political reform camps" in Xinjiang. UN experts have accused the Chinese authorities of detaining over one million Uighurs and other Muslim minority groups in these camps. However, Beijing has repeatedly asserted that it only set up vocational training centers to combat the threat of extremist terrorism in the region, while helping Uyghurs integrate into society.
