Raab said that the UK would sacrifice trade deals with China in order to support Hong Kong, but that presently it will remain in conversation with the international community on the matter.[36] Chinese foreign minister Zhao Lijian threatened the UK in response, while Hong Kong protestors felt that the British offer did not go far enough.[3] Hong Kong barrister Martin Lee, who helped draft the Basic Law, thought the UK was being generous but said that "no matter how generous you are in the provision of passports and so on, there are still large numbers of people who are not eligible for one reason or another", highlighting the vast number of oppressed protestors who are young people, born after the handover.[40] Lee later called for the UK to take China to International Court of Justice.[41]
