BEIJING - Chinese police published on Thursday a video purporting to show a former employee of the British consulate in Hong Kong confessing to"soliciting prostitution", after Britain backed his allegation that he was tortured over pro-democracy protests.
Mr Cheng said in a statement on Facebook that police had accused him of being a British spy and questioned him about London's role in protests that have wracked the semi-autonomous city for months. Mr Cheng says this is because it is a"shameful incident", adding that he feels"too ashamed to meet my girlfriend and my family".He is not heard speaking about prostitutes.
— People's Daily, China November 21, 2019 'AMOUNTS TO TORTURE' The video, initially published on Weibo and Twitter by the state-run People's Daily, was accompanied by a description that said Mr Cheng had confessed to hiring sex workers three times in half a month. Mr Cheng was placed in administrative detention after visiting the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen in August.
He works for GM Carl Hella and will be facing the Dragon family this Saturday at SgProWrestling IntotheMist
