In August, the Hong Kong resident Zheng Wenjie, who served in the British Consulate General in Hong Kong and was detained for 15 days in mainland China, recently received media interviews. According to reports from various media on November 20, Zheng Wenjie said that he was beaten during his detention in Shenzhen. .

British Foreign Minister Lan Yuwen said on the same day that he had summoned the Chinese ambassador to Britain to protest.

British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab pointed out that "Zheng Wenjie is a valuable member of our team. He was treated improperly during his detention in China. We were shocked and shocked. This is equivalent to torture."

Lan Yuwen said that he has summoned the Chinese ambassador to the UK to express anger at China’s violation of international obligations and the cruel and disgraceful treatment of Zheng Wenjie. He also said that he has clearly expressed his expectation that the Chinese authorities will investigate and hold them accountable.

Zheng Wenjie, who has resigned now, traveled from Hong Kong to Shenzhen in August 2019 and lost his connection. The Chinese authorities said that he was involved in defamation and detained him for 15 days in accordance with the administrative provisions of the Mainland, and eventually released it back to Hong Kong after the expiration.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the US "Wall Street Journal" published a visit to Zheng Wenjie on November 20, respectively. Zheng Wenjie claimed to have been beaten and blindfolded during his detention in the Mainland. During the visit, BBC reporters also directly asked if Zheng Wenjie had paid for it. Zheng Wenjie responded that "I don't want to focus on whether I am embarrassed."
