[US consulate staff in #HK was assaulted by a Chinese national]
#BREAKING: When #US and #China made some progress on trade, an American working for the US consulate general #Hongkong @USAinHKMacau was assaulted by a Chinese national from behind.https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3098803/american-working-us-consulate-hong-kong-attacked-while?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=share_widget&utm_campaign=3098803 …
2. The attack took place near the main entrance of the consulate today. The assailant approached the victim from behind & punched twice in his head, right at the moment when the victim left the consulate. The consulate is located in an area regularly patrolled by #hkpolice.
3. It's the first time that consulate staffs fall victim to physical attack in this international city where personal safety is claimed to be protected by the law.
4. Clearly assailant has been targeting consulate for a long time. Under #China’s #wolfwarrior diplomacy, #nationalsecuritylaw & #HKgov's recent move to indoctrinate more nationalism in schools, it's worrying the attack will have longlasting consequences to the city from now on.
