Break:
U.K. Government says that the U.K. will expect China to waive diplomatic immunity so to that, if police thinks there are chargeable offences, officials involved in #BobChan beating can be prosecuted, and if they do not there will be “serious diplomatic consequences”.
77
Extraordinary. The Chinese Consul General here admitting his personal involvement in #BobChan case.
Surely expulsion now imminent @JamesCleverly ? twitter.com/inzyrashid/sta…
78
Recently created Twitter account appears attempting to exculpate the Chinese Consulate in #HKBob saga with heavily edited video splicing material clearly gathered mainly through Consulate CCTV.
Wonder who’s behind the account 🤔 twitter.com/McrStory/statu…

#BREAK
@FCDOGovUK Minister @Jesse_Norman
“Extremely concerned” about beating of #HKBob
Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly has summoned Chinese Ambassador to demand an explanation for behaviour of consulate staff. Investigation underway.
81
Update: @Afzal4Gorton has been granted an Urgent Question on #HKBob at 12:30 in @HouseofCommons
Let’s hear what Ministers have to say about this 👇

Unfortunately for Wang Wenbin, we have eyes and can see from the footage that this is a barefaced lie. twitter.com/StephenMcDonel…

❗️Just heard that Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly and contacts in Number Ten are on this - looking at what can be done.
The Consul General - who directed and participated in violent assault and vandalism - should be labelled persona non grata and sent back to China. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…
84
Some further details:
1. Apparently no police statements taken yesterday (why?)
2. Ambulance not called for #HKBob
3. Police have briefed that Bob didn’t want to press charges (victim says this is false).
The Home Secretary needs to get a grip of this asap. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Two more photographs from Matthew Leung at The Chaser News.
They clearly show this man engaged in assault.
Having reviewed pictures of the Consul General, I believe it is indeed Zheng Xiyuan.

The face of the #HongKonger beaten in Manchester today by thugs from the Chinese Consulate.
Appalling.

Awful, credible reports that the Chinese Consul General in Manchester, Zheng Xiyuan, has been personally involved in vandalism and possible assault.
If so @JamesCleverly should put in an official request for him to leave his post and return home. twitter.com/McWLuke/status…

Xi seized #HongKong. Got away with it. Now boasting about it.
Perpetrated #Uyghur genocide. Got away with it.
We’ve learned no lessons. When he comes for #Taiwan, we will have ourselves to blame. reuters.com/world/china/ch…

China abstains on motion affirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Appalling.
