China warns law breakers of punishment as Hong Kong pro-independence activist seeks asylum in UK

SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Mao Ning, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson “Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law. Any law in Hong Kong must be observed and those who violate the law must be punished.

It will be futile for those who try to evade legal responsibilities by soliciting foreign support, and they will certainly be held accountable for what they did.”
