Consul General Zheng Xiyuan invited us inside to share his version of events claiming protestors stormed the consulate grounds and assaulted his staff.
“It was an emergency situation – that guy threatened my colleagues. We had to protect ourselves.”

I’ve ordered the summoning of the Chinese Chargé d'Affaires to demand an explanation for the shocking scenes outside the Chinese Consulate-General in Manchester on Sunday.  
 
Peaceful protest is a fundamental right in 🇬🇧 and the Chinese Government must respect that.

“Bob” said the situation was awkward – in such a chaotic situation and officers could not enforce the law inside the premises of the consulate, this officer did his best to help pull him out. But he was truly afraid that if unpunished, more incidents of this kind can occur pic.twitter.com/Dqe0cAqg2e

PRC🇨🇳Consulate in 🇬🇧 sent agents to damage the protest banners & pictures against dictator Xi, dragged protestors into Consulate area and beat them. @SuellaBraverman should start a criminal investigation against the attackers.@JamesCleverly should summon the Chinese Ambassador. https://t.co/X4BPJdCUaO

the obvious next move is to make another, identical display piece, bring it to the same public space near the consulate, and make sure the Chinese Intelligence Officers obey the laws of Australia.
