China has betrayed the people of Hong Kong and the UK has a moral, economic and legal duty to stand up for them, Chris Patten, the last governor of the former British colony, has said.
Oh Chrissy the UK Hong Kong was not democratic except at the end to save face. And what were we doing there in the first place? Its not in the English Channel is it? Chill and smoke a pipe of opium.
Alas the people of this former British colony must now resign themselves to being ruled by Chinese diktat as post Covid 19 and Brexit Britain cannot afford to offend a country that is now the supplier of almost every component and product required to grow it’s economy.
We’ll fright till we die! Pls help us to stop CCP insane act!
patten, oh I miss you so! help us now, please! i feel like there is no hope SOSHK
betrayal? i think there is no respect or loyal at the beginning... CCPSecurityLaw CCP nationalsecuritylaw OneCountryOneSystemIsDead FreeHK
Imagine if the HMS Prince of Wales had failed to beat the US Navy to Hong Kong during WW2, the US vs China!!!!
China ain’t concerned about a thing in the world. The Western media acts as its servant and corporations in free countries do the censoring for them.
Hong Kong people are worried that freedom is being undermined. There are enough laws available to tackle relevant criminals.
When Chris mentioned colony he betrayed humanity. Shameful.
The quote ‘the Hong Kong people have been betrayed by China and the West should stop kowtowing to Beijing for an illusory great pot of gold’ by Hong Kong’s last governer Chris Patten says it all.
In addition, CCPChina has betrayed all the countries especially UK. CCPChina broke the promises to the int'l & destroyed the present freedom & human rights in HK that are protected by the Sino-British joint statement. No freedom of speech & all dissident will be arrested in HK.
He sure remembers Lee Kuan Yew's snub over British hypocrisy and western democracy
A bit like the the U.K. government.
MassimoFaggioli But they always knew this would happen...we all knew this and felt it from the beginning
It's clear that CCP China want to rule HongKong as another Xinjiang
One country two systems is dead.
It’s one country one system in Hong Kong now. Could the UK declare China breaks Sino-British Joint Declaration? It’s not a historical sheet. It’s a contract.
Sorry Chris, your due by date has expired 23 years ago. No one bothers to hear advice from last century. You'd better rest in peace. That's gonna be good for you.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? The Chinese state is a monstrous beast that exists to dominate it's people rather than serve it. The rest of the world needs to join together to bring it down.
If the proposed national security law is passed, China officials can arrest anybody in HongKong . That will threatens the safety of anyone in HongKong , including tens of thousans of expats in HongKong
This betrayal shows exactly what CCP is, an untrustworthy evil regime. The world should NOT trust China. China would only break promises instead of honouring them.
Not only betrayal to HongKongers, CCPChina is also trashing the UN registered SinoBritishJointDeclaration, dishonouring international treaties like others UK you have due care to HongKongers who you left behind to CCP hands No more empty statements, Please take ACTION
Stop meddling with Chinese affairs. The British colonialism is passe. You are no longer relevant.
Thank for reporting the situation in HK. Yes no one in HK welcome the national security law, as it destroyed the 1C2S. The stock market reflect it as well . So many wumao posing the propaganda here. You guys even don't pay one dollar of tax in HK and now you representing HKers?
You are the Guardian of Terrorists
The Filthy Rich are the enemy of people. They controlled the poor and the young, turned them into terrorists. They are the enemy of Hongkonger!
he speaks the mind of most Hongkongers. Unlike the current government and CCP China the totalitarian regime just mock up the “supports” with propaganda machines and wumaos.
The government does not listen to citizens’ opinions. We just want to uphold the core values and defend our freedom. StandwithHK we shall never surrender.
Don’t trust the people saying most HongKong people supporting the law. More than 40% of the people gave 0 point to the police, parties supporting democracy won 90% of seats in the district council election. These facts can all be searched online. Most HKers are against the law
This is the China attack and suppress, they just to kill the citizen’ voice and do they want. This is dangerous.
Betrayal? If so the US Supreme Court has betrayed American people
Lord Patten, the last appointed colonial governor of Hong Kong, how would you react if China said: Brexit is a betrayal of Scottish and Irish people? If I were you, I'd reply: None of your business!
The world need to join hands to fight against and BoycottChineseProducts Hong Kong’s today is the world’s future! Chinazi is the source of evil and the world needs to stop CCP from destroying freedom and democracy right now! Plz act before it is too late! BoycottChina HongKong
Evil Political Propaganda of CCP. Pretends to be for the good of Hong Kong but in fact destroying democracy and human rights.
HKSAR is failing to fulfill its obligations under the Basic Law which Chris Patten agreed to, so China is justified in doing this since the HKSAR won't. Expect to see a lot of Americans from Langley, Virginia depart HK very soon.
Prophecy becoming true: [...] my anxiety is not that this community's autonomy would be usurped by Peking, but that it could be given away bit by bit by some people in Hong Kong. - Chris Patten Speech of Policy Address, Legislative Council of Hong Kong, 2 October 1996.
wanna make four digits real quick❓👀💰💯🇺🇸🇨🇦...dm”HOW”.no upfront fee needed
China Forcibly join that law means the One country Two.system is dead.
A esta otra gente, si que hace tiempo que su país y sus leyes les han abandonado.
CCP had no more patient on suppressing HongKong freedom HongKongNeedsHelp HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct
China’s latest assault to the autonomy of HongKong is a disgrace. While we have been facing bloody suppression for the over 11 months, HongKong people will continue its fight for democracy and justice till the day comes. StandwithHK
CCP wants to control Hong Kong and deprive our freedom and democracy. Freedom and democracy are the universal values that everyone should have. Hong Kongers will never give up 🇭🇰 say no to NationalSecueityLaw
This is not only the issue about HongKong but also the entire world. As the CCP is damaging people's freedom and expanding of their despotism, they become more often to lie , break international promises and rules, just like the 1country2system using the NationalSecueityLaw .
It's up to the people of Hong Kong to decide how they want to live. They support the Chinese government's national security laws without the need for other countries to speak
It also violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration
Mr Patten left HK, but his heart is always with HKers. Thank you so much for speaking up Mr Patten!
It's a good job that the UK still has some secret agents in that sunken ship in the harbour then :)
An ex colonialist casting an opinion how to run the country they colonized is like Hitler casting an opinion how to run Israel.
LadyPoop2 I see mi6/cia have started up again! Need another diversion from your own home grown disasters?
Historical position is that rest of world should pay obeisance to Chinese empire.
Then what was UK's slavery to HK people.
RisingBlackSun_ CCPChina claim the demands for liberty which is enshrined in HongKong's constitution is terrorism That's why no one should trust CCP as it endlessly violates human right & breaches commitment Now free world's freedom is also in danger as CCP is rapidly growing NBA Blizzard
HKer, would be Chinese Jews, exciled from their home,then to the whole globe, for betry against religion.
Hong Kong like other colonies wanted independence, reasonably enough, but now it is time to repent the Chinese dictatorship is a social pandemic
Hong Kong is a new berlin, and China is a New Nazi. HK is to fighting and protect a Freedom value in world, and protect a economy value by west wolrd. SayNotoChina
CCP should respect the will of most HKers and stop destroying the One Country Two Systems immediately.
Not a great student of history is Chris Patten. The colonization of Hong Kong was a betrayal of China’s geographical integrity & national sovereignty in the first place. That might be an inconvenient truth for Patten and his establishment cronies, but a truth nevertheless.
An Englishman commented on China's laws on China's HK.
lordvictor The current UK government has no principles
Hong Kong’s security upsets British racists and colonists. Hong Kong was not secure, look at their textbook, world’s last haven for racism.
Why the west media often cancels the voice from supporters
wow, the former colonizer is not happy with China making a law its own territory.
I want to know how the supporter say in Hong Kong
Spot on. Who on earth from a free place would love to go back to totalitarianism? But then China is famous for breaking their promises.
China will come after Europe and UK after Hongkong and Taiwan
It has nothing to do with the UK now. I don't understand the issue, it is Chinese land.
Please help us.
Why not listening to most Hong Kong citizens' voices? They are in favour of the new law. How come a betray?
This is bad.
