LONDON (Reuters) - Britain rejects China's assertion that their joint declaration on the governance of Hong Kong is a historic document which is no longer valid, junior foreign minister Alan Duncan said on Tuesday.
There were violent protests in Hong Kong on Monday, marking 22 years since the former British colony returned to Chinese rule. China said that Britain no longer has a say in what goes on in the city, where people have protested against a bill to allow extraditions to China.
