China is breaking Hong Kong treaty with UK, says Dominic Raab
UK foreign secretary says banning of opposition lawmakers is ‘clear breach’ of Sino-British joint declaration
Beijing’s imposition of new rules disqualifying opposition legislators in Hong Kong constitutes a breach of legally binding international commitments, the UK foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, has said.
Raab said the move represented a “clear breach” of the Sino-British joint declaration, which was supposed to guarantee Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy under Chinese rule.
