Hundreds of people gathered in St Peter's Square for the 'Say No to China' protest. The protest was arranged after an incident last Sunday (October 16) at the Chinese consulate, in Denison Road, Rusholme.
On that occasion, a protest had been called to mark the start of a twice-a-decade congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) - at which the party's general secretary Xi Jinping has since won a historic third term as the President of the People's Republic of China.
During that protest, a Hong Konger named Bob Chan says he was 'dragged' into the consultate grounds and assaulted. Mr Chan claims he was 'hurt' in what he describes as an 'unprovoked attack'. An investigation into the incident by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) still continues.
