Chinese embassy in UK condemns decision to charge three men over Hong Kong assistance

The Chinese embassy in London issued a statement rejecting a decision by British police to charge three men with assisting Hong Kong's foreign intelligence service.

"The Chinese side firmly rejects and strongly condemns the UK’s fabrication of the so-called case and its unwarranted accusation against the HKSAR (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) government, and has made serious representations to the UK side on the matter," the embassy said in a statement.
