LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will raise the issue of protests in Hong Kong with China's Vice Premier Hu Chunhua, who is on a visit to London to boost economic and financial cooperation, May's spokesman said on Monday.

Britain viewed the protests in its former colony as a clear sign of local opposition to the proposal that Hong Kong courts could extradite people to mainland China, May's spokesman added.
