“Britain to avoid making further steps down wrong path.” 

“China would react resolutely to actions in the former British colony of Hong Kong that interfere in China’s internal affairs.”

BBC News reported late Sunday, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is expected to suspend the UK's extradition treaty with Hong Kong on Monday amid rising tensions between London and Beijing.
