The Chinese consulate in Belfast has amended an article that claimed the leaders of Northern Ireland said they understood and respected the National Security Law imposed on Hong Kong, after the two leaders said on Tuesday the article misrepresented their comments.

The first minister of Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster, and deputy first minister, Michelle O’Neill, both denied that they endorsed the draconian National Security Law.
