It's quite common for defendants (if they can afford it!) to bring a senior barrister over from London to represent them. Even the Dept. of Justice will fly in a London Silk to prosecute for the govt. in important cases.

Thanks for keeping up posting in this thread

EDIT: To add the below thread. Two short videos showing a kerfuffle at the Consulate gates and (2ndly) ten seconds of a protestor getting beaten. It looks like he was dragged inside the gates by Consulate staff and beaten, while police seem unsure about intervening. And it looks like the Consul-General himself may have been personally involved.
Diplomacy at its best.

Calls for UK response after protester attacked at Chinese consulate
Foreign secretary urged to take action after Hong Kong demonstrator punched and kicked in Manchester
The "diplomats" involved need to face the full force of the law and the Chinese government needs to incur clear costs for this.
The mentality of the consular officials is of swaggering, jingoistic scorn for local laws, and there is a dynamic at play where people are promoted for their patriotism, so officials compete to be more jingoistic.
The Chinese government are already operating illegal police stations across the UK and other countries, which they use as a base of operations to intimidate overseas Chinese.
Report: China’s unofficial ‘police stations’ operating under the radar in London, other parts of the world
Informal police stations operated by Chinese community groups associated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have sprouted in London, a new report claims. China has reportedly set up 54 “overseas police service centers” worldwide as part of its growing international network of CCP-backed...
If there isn't a strong response to this sort of behaviour, it will eventually lead to them conducting assassinations and kidnappings on British soil, targeting overseas Chinese, Hong Kongers and Taiwanese in particular.
