UK set to suspend extradition treaty with Chinese territory

UK foreign secretary Dominic Raab is expected to suspend the UK’s extradition treaty with Hong Kong later amid rising tensions between London and Beijing.

It follows the controversial national security law imposed in the Chinese territory, and the decision to ban Huawei from the UK’s 5g network.

Meanwhile the UK has offered residency rights to three million Hong Kongers.

China has accused the UK of meddling in its own internal affairs.

Beijing has insisted it is committed to upholding international law and has accused the UK and the US of seeking to de-stabilise Hong Kong.
