HKDC hosted our first-ever UK roundtable in Parliament on 6 May, which brought together lawmakers and civil-society representatives to address the growing threat of Beijing’s transnational repression and foreign interference on British soil. Entitled “UK-Hong Kong Relations in a Shifting Geopolitical Landscape: A Transatlantic Perspective”, the event was sponsored by Calum Miller MP, the Liberal Democrat foreign-affairs spokesperson. Two of his colleagues — Luke Taylor, a Liberal Democrat MP; and Emily Darlington, a Labour MP — also participated in the full two-hour session in Portcullis House.
