BEIJING Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Clearance , Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- China has lodged solemn representations to Britain over its foreign secretary's remarks on Hong Kong affairs, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Thursday.

Hua made the remarks at a routine press briefing in response to a question regarding a British human rights activist's barred entry to Hong Kong.

According to reports, Benedict Rogers, a British human rights activist and co-founder of the Conservative Party's Human Rights Commission, was denied entry to Hong Kong after arriving from Bangkok on Wednesday.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said London needed an explanation from Hong Kong and Beijing as "Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy, and its rights and freedoms Cheap Nike Air Max Clearance , are central to its way of life and should be fully respected."

Hua said Hong Kong is a special administrative region (SAR) of China, and therefore Hong Kong affairs are China's internal affairs.

She said that it is China's sovereign right to deny or approve anyone's entry to Hong Kong.

"Rogers himself is clear about whether his trip to Hong Kong was intended to interfere in the SAR's internal affairs and judicial independence," said Hua, reiterating that China firmly opposes any government, organization or person's interference in China's domestic affairs.

Real Madrid's French striker Karim -Benzema was placed under formal judicial investigation on Thursday in -connection with an alleged attempt to blackmail -fellow French soccer -international Mathieu Valbuena with the use of a sex tape.

A statement from the public prosecutor in Versailles, west of Paris Cheap Air Max Thea Clearance , said the inquiry covered alleged offenses that can carry a prison sentence of at least five years.

Benzema's lawyer, Sylvain Cormier said that his client was totally innocent. "He played no part, I repeat no part, in any blackmail or attempted blackmail," Cormier told reporters.

The prosecutor's move - which in France's justice system does not necessarily mean Benzema will end up being tried, but does mean investigators believe they have serious grounds for pursuing the matter with him - -exposes Benzema to a period of doubt ahead of the European Championship that France hosts next year.

Investigators are trying to identify who was behind the -alleged extortion -attempt.

The affair involved phone-recorded sex footage that could prove embarrassing for Valbuena Cheap Air Max 95 Clearance , according to sources close to the inquiry. Benzema's name came up during phone taps in relation to the inquiry opened in July, police sources say.

The inquiry cites suspicion of complicity in extortion. The prosecutor also ordered Benzema not to contact others linked to the affair.

Local media highlighted that the -investigation could make life difficult for France coach Didier Deschamps, who may wish to call up both Valbuena, a forward for Olympique Lyonnais, and striker Benzema to play for France in the days and months ahead and in the -European Championship in June and July next year.

The imbroglio is not Benzema's first brush with justice.

He and Bayern Munich forward Franck Ribery were acquitted by a court in January 2014 of charges that they solicited the services of an underage -prostitute, the now fashion model Zahia Dehar Cheap Air Max 90 Clearance , when she was aged 16 and 17.
