The Chinese government has warned the UK about interfering in Hong Kong after Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt backed demonstrators' actions. Beijing's UK ambassador Liu Xiaoming stated that protesters who occupied Hong Kong's parliament should be condemned and the UK government's response was damaging to relations between the two countries. When Liu accused Hunt of failing to recognise China's sovereignty over the region in regards to the controversial extradition bill, the Conservative leadership challenger referenced the 1984 treaty between the two nations, which guarantees the rights of Hong Kong's citizens through the territory's Basic Law under Chinese rule.
