Foreign Secretary James Cleverly expressed his disappointment that none of the six would now face justice.Pro-democracy protester, Bob Chan, a Hongkonger, was injured after being dragged onto the consulate grounds and beaten by men on 16 October. China's decision to remove the diplomats is seen by some as an attempt to de-escalate the dispute and avoid further tit-for-tat exchanges between it and the UK.
UK officials made clear the embassy was fully aware that if the diplomats did not agree to take part in the police investigation, then there would be consequences.Instead, China has chosen to avoid that outcome by recalling the diplomats themselves.
