Just noticed this:
“Britain closely monitoring events in Hong Kong: Hunt”

For what it’s worth.
Oh sorry, that is an old article.
Britain’s got basically nothing to send to HK even if they wanted to intervene. Most of their deployable naval assets are stuck in the Middle East now and short of SAS/SBS, they’re pretty boned for anything else to send. They can’t even pull off a Falklands and send out Harriers on merchant ships as makeshift carriers as they scrapped or sold them all off.
Short of special forces and only special forces, Britain is currently only able to “strongly remonstrate” China on their actions.
