He confirmed his involvement in the violence.
In a letter to the Greater Manchester Police, Zheng alleged that the protesters carried an image of Chinese President Xi Jinping with a noose around his neck, as well as posters with messages like “God kill CPC ” and “F*ck your mother.” He said such actions were “deliberately designed to provoke, harass, alarm and distress our consular staff” and in violation of the U.K.’s Public Order Act.Zheng added that the protesters were initially “asked politely” to remove the signs.
“During the ensuing scuffle, one of the protestors grabbed a member of consular staff by the neck and refused to let go. In an effort to free the staff member, other members of staff pulled their colleague into our compound. Despite this, the attacker persistently refused to let go and plunged into the property himself,” Zheng wrote.
British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly summoned China's second-most senior diplomat in London, Yang Xiaoguang, to explain the incident. Chinese Ambassador Zheng Zeguang is currently out of the U.K.toldHe added, “My understanding is the Greater Manchester Police will be conducting an investigation into this and when I see the details of that investigation, I'll then decide what more we might need to do on that.
