Liu Xiaoming, China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, gestures during a news conference in London, on Aug. 15, 2019.China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom lashed out at what he saw as one-sided reporting on human rights issues Thursday, presenting a series of videos defending Chinese actions against Uyghur Muslims in the northwest Xinjang province and warning Britain to stop meddling in his country’s affairs.
“There are so many fallacies and lies that permeate Western media,” he said. “It can be called the lies of the century.” Liu added that disputes over human rights, the imposition of a new security law in Hong Kong and Britain’s decision to ban Chinese tech giant Huawei from taking part in building a new high speed phone network had “seriously poisoned the atmosphere” of China’s relations with Britain.”
“China respects U.K. sovereignty and has never interfered in the U.K.‘s internal affairs,” the ambassador said. “It is important the U.K. will do the same – namely, respect China’s sovereignty and stop interfering in Hong Kong’s affairs, which are China’s internal affairs, so as to avoid further damage to the China-UK relationship.”
