Something they said?

They're returning the favour of Ofcom, who revoked the UK licence of a Chinese news broadcaster earlier in the week.
@PhotonQyv ah. Thanks.

Not really all that surprising. As far as China is concerned Hong Kong is China and has been since 1999.
BBC is not saying HK is not Chinese, they just reported on protests.
If you want a 45 minute discussion of this .. the latest Model Maze discusses it.

So I understand that say Milliband can be talking from *his own* position as a diplomat and politician and defending some kind of compromise and not talking about some abuse for the sake of some greater gain.
On the hand, there's nothing preventing from talking all the media and politicians in the country who do not represent it in diplomatic terms.
