Following the enactment of anti-government legislation in Hong Kong, the British government announced that it would immediately suspend the criminal delivery treaty with Hong Kong.

In response to the enactment of the "Hong Kong National Security Act" in Hong Kong to crack down on anti-governmental movements, British Foreign Minister Raab issued a statement in parliament on 20th, immediately concluding a criminal delivery treaty with Hong Kong. "We will not change our response until we can be certain that the abuse of this Convention can be avoided," she said after she said she would suspend it.

Australia and Canada have already taken similar steps with respect to the Criminal Delivery Treaty with Hong Kong.

On the other hand, Foreign Minister Raab said that "there are many areas in which we can cooperate with China," citing efforts to tackle climate change, and made us want to avoid a decisive conflict with China.

However, the British government last week announced that it will change its initial policy regarding the next-generation communication standard "5G", and will eliminate China's telecommunications equipment giant Huawei by 2027 and return to Hong Kong until it is returned to China. It has already been revealed that passports issued to residents will greatly expand the right to stay in the UK.

In the UK, criticism of the Chinese government's response to the violation of human rights of Uighur people seems to be intensifying, and the deterioration of the relationship between the two countries is inevitable.

China'British wrong measure is internal interference'

Prior to this, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wu Wen-Wu said in a press conference on the 20th, "I strongly condemn British's wrong actions on Hong Kong because it would significantly interfere with China's domestic affairs. We encourage them not to push the wrong way so as not to damage it."
