Chinese ambassador accuses U.K. of ‘gross interference’ over Hong Kong

China’s ambassador to the U.K., Liu Xiaoming, accused the U.K. of “gross interference” on Monday, and of making irresponsible remarks, regarding Beijing’s introduction of a new national security legislation in Hong Kong. Britain said the imposition of the law was a violation of the 1984 Joint Declaration, and that London would offer three million residents of the former colony a path to British citizenship.
