Tensions between states are mounting following a historic autonomy breach: "We have called on China to reconsider the implementation of the law that restricts autonomous rule in the city."

The dispute between China and the United Kingdom around Hong Kong is intensifying. The United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and other Western countries view China's Hong Kong activity as a blatant violation of the UK-China historic agreement on the autonomy of Hong Kong (the former British colony) - one state with two methods of government. 

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian today reacted strongly to the announcement by British Foreign Minister Dominique Raab, saying: "We strongly oppose the British proposal and will retain the opportunity to respond to it. This is a British violation of international law."

However, in the United Kingdom, unmoved by Chinese threats, the Prime Minister's spokesman responded: "We have called on China to reconsider the implementation of the law that restricts autonomous rule in the city and thereby fulfill its responsibilities as a leading member of the international community. Of Hong Kong. "

The anger of the fierce Chinese comes as a result of Britain's announcement last Thursday. According to the announcement, Britain will date the British passport to 350,000 Chinese city residents and that it will also consider providing shelter to millions from the city if China continues to abolish Hong Kong autonomy. This statement from Britain was also backed by British interior minister Frite Patel, who said that "if China implements the new law (to restrict Hong Kong autonomy) we will consider extending the visas of British citizens staying overseas for at least 12 months. The rights and liberties of the city's residents. "

Conservative British MP Bob Sly, too, expressed himself in favor of such an immigration, contrary to the conventional stance among immigrant conservatives. Sally said: "In the case of Hong Kong, immigration and mass escape with the approval of millions to the UK will be justified, moral and proper as we have at the time allowed white Indians from Uganda to escape massively from the massacre of the mad dictator Idi Amin."

The one who still strongly opposed the new Chinese law was Chris Patten, the last British governor who was in Hong Kong during her last days as a British colony before the Chinese regained control of the region. Petan said that "there is no reason for the new law. What has changed over the years of his coming to power for Xi Jinping is a dictator who wants to export what he sees as an expression of China's power." 

It should be noted that the British decision upsets China, because the mass escape of Hong Kong residents will disintegrate the former colony and destroy it and its economic centrality as an international city for China.
