LONDON England – The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Permanent Under-Secretary has summoned the Chinese ambassador to the UK to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said:
“Today the Chinese Ambassador was summoned to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. The Permanent Under-Secretary set out that China’s imposition of new rules to disqualify elected legislators in Hong Kong was a breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. He called on China to uphold its international obligations.
“Beijing’s latest actions are an assault on Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy and rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Joint Declaration.”
