China’s envoy to the U.K. Liu Xiaoming said “foreign forces” must stop interfering in Hong Kong and respect Chinese sovereignty over the territory, which he said faces the “gravest situation” since the 1997 handover.
Speaking at a press conference in London, Liu said U.K.-China ties would be damaged if the British government tried to intervene in Hong Kong, adding that some politicians still regard the territory as part of the U.K. and should “change their mindset.”
