Rishi Sunak criticized the Chinese approach to the protests, saying that instead of listening to its people, the government was choosing to crack down further

That also drew a rebuke from the Chinese embassy, which earlier on Tuesday published a statement saying Britain was “in no position to pass judgment on China’s COVID-19 policy or other internal affairs.”The last time Britain summoned a senior Chinese diplomat to complain was in October, over the treatment of a man who was protesting outside the Chinese consulate in Manchester, northern England.

The man said he was dragged inside the grounds by masked men, kicked and punched, in an incident that was captured on camera. China said protesters had stormed its grounds. Prior to that, in August, Britain summoned the Chinese ambassador to ask him to explain his country’s actions towards Taiwan. China responded by criticizing then-prime minister Liz Truss for “irresponsible rhetoric”.

A British parliamentary committee said on Tuesday it was visiting Taiwan this week to meet President Tsai Ing-Wen and other senior officials.
