MPs call for overhaul of China policy after UK suspends Hong Kong extraditions

Cross-party consensus builds as foreign secretary also bans export of riot control kit to city

Conservative MPs and Labour are calling for the wholesale overhaul of relations with China after the government suspended extradition with Hong Kong and banned the export of riot control equipment following Beijing's imposition of a sweeping national security law on the territory.

Announcing the measures to the Commons, Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, stressed the desire for continued cooperation with China, but said the actions were a reasonable and proportionate response" to the law, which effectively criminalises most political dissent.
