The U.K. wants to rally as many countries as possible to condemn China's threat to Hong Kong's autonomy
LONDON — The U.K. wants to rally as many countries as possible to condemn China's threat to Hong Kong's autonomy, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Tuesday, as he urged Beijing to "step back from the brink" and reverse plans to impose national security legislation.
He insisted London had been "at the vanguard" of the international response and that China should expect further action if it moved ahead with the law. However, if China's new law — which Raab said he expected to be published in full "shortly" — moves forward, Raab said the U.K. would "consider what further response we make working with those international partners and others.”
The EU's statement last week, which expressed "grave concern" at China's actions, was "not as strong as the statement we put out," Raab said, but nonetheless demonstrated that Brussels was "engaged actively" on the issue.
