NSTworld: China called it an “appalling attack” and has demanded that Britain offer security protection to the HongKong minister.
Teresa Cheng, Hong Kong’s deeply unpopular Secretary for Justice, fell while being surrounded by a crowd of jeering pro-democracy protesters as she prepared to attend a speaking event on Thursday night in London.
But China called it an “appalling attack” and has demanded that Britain offer security protection to the Hong Kong minister. Geng said that failing to act on “anti-China elements” in Hong Kong will not only cause trouble in the semi-autonomous territory, but will also “cause serious interference and destruction to the international community including the United Kingdom.”
Former colonial ruler Britain, which handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997, has urged Beijing and Hong Kong to seek a political solution for protesters and condemned the escalating violence on both sides.
