China says its diplomatic missions abroad have the right to “take necessary measures” to maintain security after UK police opened an investigation into the assault of a Hong Kong protester.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin rejected the accounts of the protester and Manchester police. He told reporters Tuesday that the protester had “illegally entered” the consulate and “jeopardized the security of the Chinese diplomatic premises.”
“The diplomatic missions of all countries have the right to take necessary measures to maintain the peace and dignity of the premises,” Wang said in Beijing. “What I want to stress is that the peace and dignity of Chinese embassies and consulates abroad must not be violated.” He added that the British government should step up protection for Chinese diplomatic posts and personnel in the U.K.
Downing Street said the incident was “deeply concerning,” and a Foreign Office official summoned Chinese charge d’affaires Yang Xiaoguang on Tuesday. “Today we have made our view clear to the Chinese authorities: The right to peaceful protest in the U.K. must be respected,” said Foreign Office minister Zac Goldsmith.“We cannot allow the Chinese Communist Party to import their beating of protesters and their silencing of free speech ... to British soil,” said Alicia Kearns, chair of Parliament’s foreign affairs committee.
