UK says will summon Chinese ambassador after spy convictions

Britain will summon Beijing's ambassador in London after two dual Chinese-British nationals were convicted of spying on Hong Kong dissidents on behalf of China, security minister Dan Jarvis said Thursday.

"The activities carried out by these men, on behalf of China, are an infringement of our sovereignty and will never be tolerated," he said in a statement, hours after a UK jury found the two men guilty.
