UK to summon Chinese Ambassador after spying convictions

Britain ​will summon ​the Chinese ambassador ‌following the conviction ​of two men for spying on ‌behalf of Hong Kong and ultimately China, Security Minister Dan Jarvis said in ‌a statement on Thursday. "The activities carried ‌out by these men, on behalf of China, are an infringement of our sovereignty ⁠and ​will ⁠never be tolerated," Jarvis said.

"We will continue to ⁠hold China to account and challenge them ​directly for actions which put ⁠the safety of people in our country at ⁠risk. "That ​is why the Foreign Office will summon the Chinese Ambassador ⁠to make it clear activity like ⁠this ⁠was, and will always be, unacceptable on UK soil."
