Hong Kong British Consulate General “Maintained by Prostitution” in Mainland China Reported August 23, 0:39
When a local employee of a British consulate general in Hong Kong traveled to mainland China, a Chinese communist newspaper reported that the employee was punished for prostitution because of police detention. On the other hand, the staff's family has repelled that "reporting is not true".
A 28-year-old man with a Hong Kong citizen who is a local employee of the British Consulate General in Hong Kong, was unable to contact him on the 8th of this month on a business trip back to Shenzhen in the adjacent mainland China. It was revealed that he was detained for 15 days of administrative detention for violating the law.
On this day, an electronic version of the Chinese Communist Party newspaper, the World Times Report, reported that the staff was punished for prostitution.
He also reports that he did not tell his family about illegal activities at his request.
In response, the staff's family responded by commenting through the supporters: “The report is not true and will be understood over time”.
In addition, a spokesman for the British Foreign Ministry said on the 22nd: “Since we were detained, we and his family have not been able to talk to him. We have repeatedly raised this issue and contacted him with authorities in China and Hong Kong. "We are looking for ways to take it."
While Britain was concerned about this issue, China is struggling to avoid interfering with domestic politics, and the direction of the situation is drawing attention.
