China urges UK not to go down ‘wrong path’ of Hong Kong sanctions
Raab expected to suspend UK’s Hong Kong extradition treaty due to security crackdown
China has said the UK will be heading “down the wrong path” if, as expected, Dominic Raab announces on Monday he is suspending an extradition treaty with Hong Kong due to its new national security law.
Speaking at a media briefing, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry, said the decision, plus other mooted plans such as actions against individual Chinese officials due to rights abuses, would harm relations between the two countries.
