London … News Time
Chinese ambassador to London has warned US, UK and other countries to stop interfering in Hong Kong’s internal affairs. Chinese Ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming says news agency Reuters reports foreigners, including the United States and the United Kingdom, should stop interfering in Hong Kong’s internal affairs as protesters clash with police. Chinese Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said some western countries openly supported the most violent protesters; the US House of Representatives explicitly raised the issue of the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which is China’s internal affairs, to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. He said that the British Government and the Secretary General’s Committee on Foreign Affairs published reports on Hong Kong making disparaging statements regarding China. Referring to the UK, he said certain British politicians had the worst attitude and even planned to award the Hong Kong independence propaganda insult. Chinese Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said the Hong Kong government is working hard to control the situation.
University enclosure:
On the other hand, in Hong Kong, police surrounded a university where rubber bullets and ammunition were used to disperse anti-government protesters armed with petrol bombs and other weapons. According to the report, clashes between the police and the protesters during the university siege have raised concerns about violence. A statement issued by the UK government says it is concerned about both sides’ violence at Hong Kong University, and demanded that safe passage and medical help be provided to those trapped in the university.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said we were concerned about the situation in Hong Kong, clashes between protesters and police. “We are constantly urging all parties to show restraint and will support peaceful protests,” he said. The British Office of the Treasure said that the most important were the people who were injured during the protests, they should be given proper medical care and given safe passage to all those who want to leave the area.
According to AFP, police threatened to take violent action to expel protesters from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which has further worsened the situation. According to the report, there is a battlefield between the university protesters and the police, where dozens of people are using ropes to try to break the siege of the university. China has refused to acknowledge the protesters’ demands and warned that no violence will be tolerated.
Remember that protests started this year in Hong Kong when a law was passed to transfer prisoners from a semi-independent state to China. Which was later withdrawn but the protests took longer and were not only opposed by the government but also demanded for independence.
