UK vows to stand up to "Chinese aggression" and defend Hong Kong's freedoms
In a recent PMQ (Prime Minister's Questions) session, British Prime Minister #RishiSunak was asked to respond to the case of jailed media tycoon #JimmyLai, who is also a British citizen.
Speaking in parliament, Sunak insisted on Britain's right to get involved in its former colony. He pointed out that UK has admitted hundreds of thousands of HongKongers fleeing China's crackdown. He said it will remain robust in standing up to "Chinese aggression".
Sunak also condemned China's oppression and persecution and criticized China for breaking the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
He further stated that he will continue to handle Hong Kong affairs and defend Hong Kong's freedom.
Members of the Conservative Party, including former leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, have met with Jimmy Lai's son Sebastien and called for the UK government to issue a warning to China and consider revoking Hong Kong's special administrative region status if China continues to prosecute citizens.
