UK Foreign Office Summons Chinese Ambassador Over Hong Kong Security Law
Britain s Foreign Office has summoned China s ambassador to express its concerns over the imposition of a national security law in Hong Kong.
Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese regime s top diplomat in London, was called to a meeting with the Foreign Office s permanent undersecretary, Sir Simon McDonald, on July 1, according to reports by Sky News and other British media outlets.
McDonald expressed the UK s deep concern over the new law, pointing out that the law breaches the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, in which the Chinese regime promised to guarantee Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy for 50 years after the territory was handed back to China in 1997.
