LONDON, 16 December 2022, (TON): Britain said “China has removed six diplomats from the UK, including its consul-general in Manchester, after they were accused of assaulting a Hong Kong protester in the northern English city.”

UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said “the six envoys had left the country by a Wednesday deadline imposed by London for them to waive their diplomatic immunity and be questioned by police over the October incident.”

Cleverly said “as part of that investigation, we requested that six Chinese officials waive diplomatic immunity so they can be questioned.”
