China’s foreign ministry said “troublemakers” had illegally entered its consulate in the northern British city of Manchester, after a video emerged that appeared to show a brawl between protesters and staff during a demonstration by Hong Kong independence activists on October 16, 2022. British Prime Minister Liz Truss expressed “deep concern” over the incident, while Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu said he was confident British authorities would act in accordance with the law and diplomatic conventions. Clips circulating online show different people involved in clashes outside and on the grounds of the consulate, with one man who identified himself as a Hongkonger complaining that he was dragged into the compound and beaten up.
