Statement from the Chinese Embassy in the UK: Strongly condemn the despicable acts of the "Hong Kong Independence" mobs who burned the national flag and ran into the embassy
China News Agency, London, October 1 (Reporter Zhang Ping) The Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom issued a statement on October 1, strongly condemning the despicable acts of the "Hong Kong independence" mobs who burned the national flag and ran into the embassy.
The statement pointed out that on the afternoon of October 1, more than a dozen "Hong Kong Independence" thugs openly burned the Chinese flag in front of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, violently smashed and damaged the main entrance of the embassy, and publicly posted "Hong Kong Independence" slogans.
The above-mentioned bad behaviors wantonly damage and insult the national flag, blaspheme the dignity of the country and the nation, severely violate the National Flag Law of the People's Republic of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China Law on the Maintenance of National Security, seriously challenge China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and seriously threaten the embassy premises. And personnel safety!
We express strong indignation and severely condemn this despicable behavior!
This fully exposed the ugly face of the "Hong Kong independence" elements "violently and illegally" and the true plot of "anti-China chaos in Hong Kong"!
Their perverse acts will never succeed. Their acts of splitting the country and betraying the country for glory will surely be rejected by history and the people!
The Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom has lodged solemn representations with the British police and the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development, requesting the British side to promptly investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible.
The Chinese Embassy in the UK urges the British side to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the host government as stipulated in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, maintain the sanctity of diplomatic consulates, and ensure the safety and dignity of Chinese embassies and consulates.
