Hong Kong Electoral Reforms: Foreign Secretary Statement

Press release

The Foreign Secretary comments following the decision by the National People’s Congress in Beijing to bring in changes to the Hong Kong electoral system.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

This is the latest step by Beijing to hollow out the space for democratic debate in Hong Kong, contrary to the promises made by China itself.

This can only further undermine confidence and trust in China living up to its international responsibilities and legal obligations, as a leading member of the international community.
