I don't think the people who did this realize how much of a gigantic diplomatic fuck-up it is to abduct someone from UK territory to drag them on Chinese territory to beat him up.
( Beating dissidents and human rights violations, they don't care. The abducting from foreing soil they might. )
Well maby they realized how big of a diplomatic cluster grenade this would be... if the country wasen't cucked beyond parody.

They work in the fucking consulate, they definitely understand. They dragged him into the consulate BECAUSE they understand - its attempt to avoid prosecution.
In all likelihood, this decision came from high up in the consulate - or could even have come over the phone direct from China - and is just another instance of China flexing its ever-growing muscles to see what it can get away with. Expect to see more and more of this stuff all around the world as China eclipses America.
Contrary to popular belief, embassies and consulates are not literally extraterritorial. Whoever dragged the guy inside committed a crime, however, if they were consular staff they have diplomatic immunity and thus cannot be punished by the UK beyond expulsion. When the police entered the consular premises to drag the guy back out, THEY violated the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations: "The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission."
So yeah, this is a diplomatic cluster grenade. But it's likely the UK cop's head which will roll, since they committed a treaty violation against China.
