Brickbat: Exporting Repression

Police in Manchester, England, have opened an investigation after men came out of the Chinese consulate in that city, dragged a protester onto consulate grounds and beat him. The man later told reporters the men attacked him after protesters tried to stop the men from tearing down anti-Chinese government signs they had put up outside the consulate. The Chinese government claims the man "illegally entered" the consulate.

This is just another damn Chinese knock off.
This is about as close as Reason will get to admitting the trading with China didn't make them more free, it made the rest of the world less free.
They've also set up "police stations" all over the world which are used to harass Chinese who have fled or left the country.

Forget it, Oliver. It's Chinatown.
Today: If you are Chinese, you will answer to China.
Tomorrow: So will everybody.
I think this is more importing dissent into the consulate for punishment than exporting repression.

Order the consulate closed, maybe they'll get the message.
Perfect solution!
Since this is not in London, I have to assume that it is not the primary office location of the Chinese Ambassador to the UK. Closing the Manchester consulate would leave the primary office open for diplomatic business, but send a clear message that unless the protestors had entered actual Chinese territory, they were covered by UK law and protections.
The embassy is in London.
IIRC, the consulates become the embassy when the ambassador is in attendance at one of them.
Better yet, order all Chinese diplomats out of the country, but suspend enforcement for a week, so the foreign ministry can work out some kind of apology to the man’s family and turn over the thug who did the beating.
Three words: Persona Non Grata!!
Well, if the man was dragged onto the property against his will they aren't wrong. He did enter illegally...

We played lots of fighting games on PC. These types of games are exciting, thrilling, and intense to play. For that reason, several fighting games were developed for Windows and IOS. Tekken 5 APK is one of those games that drive most attractions. Iconic characters, unique moves, training sessions, considerable fighting skills, etc are the tasks that users can play. Officially this game was developed for PCs. But now it is available for mobile version (android). After being launched, this game went viral within a short period.
