A | 8月18日，体育馆改造提升项目启动，这个承载着几代石家庄人记忆的地标建筑，将开启焕新之路。 London, Oct 19 (UNI) One of China's most senior UK diplomats was involved in violence against protesters at the Manchester consulate on Sunday, a British MP says.
"What we saw was the Chinese consul-general then ripping down posters and peaceful protest," Alicia Kearns told MPs in the House of Commons, BBC reported.
China has not commented on Zheng Xiyuan's alleged involvement.
But the Foreign Ministry in Beijing defended the actions of consulate staff.
Spokesman Wang Wenbin said people had "illegally entered" the grounds and any country's diplomats would have taken "necessary measures" to protect their premises.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly summoned Chinese chargé d'affaires Yang Xiaoguang -- the ambassador's deputy -- on Tuesday to demand an explanation for what happened at the consulate, the BBC reported.
The UK said it was reiterated at the meeting that all diplomats and consular staff based in the UK must respect the UK's laws and regulations.
The official Chinese version of what happened is at odds with video footage and statements from police.
Officers had to drag back a protester from inside the consulate gate as he was being attacked, the report said.
Earlier, Kearns told MPs that after Consul-General Zheng Xiyuan ripped down the placards, there was "grievous bodily harm against a Hongkonger, one of whom was hospitalised for taking part in a peaceful protest.
"Some were then dragged onto consulate territory for a further beating by officials who have been recognised to be members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
"We cannot allow the CCP to import their beating of protesters, their silencing of free speech and their failure to allow time and time again protests on British soil. This is a chilling escalation."
According to a statement by the Greater Manchester Police, around 30 to 40 people had gathered outside the consulate to protest, the BBC reported.
"Shortly before 4pm a small group of men came out of the building and a man was dragged into the consulate grounds and assaulted," the statement said.
"Due to our fears for the safety of the man, officers intervened and removed the victim from the consulate grounds."
The consulate is UK territory, but cannot be entered without consent.
Another MP, Labour's Afzal Khan -- who represents the constituency where the consulate is, Manchester Gorton -- told the House of Commons he was "sickened" by the scenes.
"The UK stands for freedom, the rule of law, and democracy," said the Labour MP. "The quashing of peaceful protests will never be tolerated on British soil."
Khan and other MPs called for the consul-general to be declared a "persona non grata" -- meaning a person who is unwelcome in the country.
Conservative MP Sir Iain Duncan Smith asked if the government would "be prepared to expel the consul-general and any of those that are found to have been part of that punishment beating and the vandalism?"
Some MPs called for the Foreign Office to go further, including Labour's Andrew Gwynne who said: "Had these incidents happened on the streets of Hong Kong, there would have been outrage from the British government, rightly so.
"They happened on the streets of Manchester and yet we have this situation where the minister is basically sending a memo to the Chinese embassy, an offer of a cup of tea and a chat with the ambassador."

B | 看见馆外的公告牌，路过的62岁石家庄市民刘建忠停住了脚步，拿出手机拍照留念。“年轻的时候就在这儿锻炼，太熟悉了。
C | 我怕改完认不出原来的样子，得先留个影。公告牌前，像刘建忠这样驻足留影的，不在少数。大家舍不得这口“老”味道，可“42岁”的老馆，早已跟不上群众健身的热乎劲儿——首先是“老”。主馆钢网架锈蚀、管线老化，部分设施已难以适应高强度的使用需求。其次是“小”。
D | 原有车位约百个，赶上晚高峰和周末健身扎堆，院内一位难求。再就是“挤”。羽毛球、乒乓球等热门场地常年预约爆满，想打场球，得蹲守零点拼手速抢票。“群众反映最集中的就是这三件事。
E | ”体育馆副馆长韩士磊说，“体育馆热门场地小程序一放票就秒空，这不是小修小补能解决的，必须动大手术。”体育馆动大手术，是否意味着要在拆和留之间做一道不二的选择题？一座城市地标建筑往往承载着许多城市文化记忆，拆了重建固然省事，但文化记忆难再。于体育馆而言，它承载着很多石家庄人“第一次”，这座1984年落成的省会首座万人体育馆，曾承接第二届世界武术锦标赛、WCBA联赛等高等级体育赛事，也留下过李宗盛、蔡琴、梁静茹等演唱会的动人回声，因此改造提升成为必选之项，而这意味着要在原有建筑上进行精细作业。主馆钢网架体量大、受力复杂，原有结构状况存在不确定性；外立面的壁画等历史元素，必须在施工中同步保护。“既要完成结构加固和功能升级，也要在更新外立面中留住老馆的辨识度。”施工方、中国建筑第三工程局有限公司项目执行经理郭旭涛说，新馆按被动式超低能耗建筑标准建设，主馆应用光伏、导光管等绿色技术，搭建智慧服务、智慧安防、智慧管理等平台。“更难的是，老馆身在闹市。”郭旭涛介绍，通过噪声控制时段、扬尘封闭管理、交通人车分流，尽量让施工期间少惊扰周边居民生活。老馆改造再复杂，最终目的是服务群众健身。“改造后，主馆可开展篮球、羽毛球等多项室内运动，新馆则配建8道标准泳池。”韩士磊说，主馆中心场地由1262.6平方米拓展至2090平方米，具备承办全国单项赛事能力；西侧新建综合运动馆建筑面积34167平方米，地下增设400个停车位，是原有车位的4倍，同步配建母婴室、无障碍通道及适老化设施。八百天后，这座承载着城市记忆的地标将焕然一新。“等新馆建成了，也不用定闹钟抢票了。”端详着手机里未来新馆的照片，刘建忠很是满意。而常来打网球的张宇刚则告诉记者，那时候，他下班打球再也不怕停车难了。（日报见习记者 梁 潇）。
