LONDON - Hong Kong’s last British governor Chris Patten on Tuesday cautioned that if China intervened in Hong Kong it would be a catastrophe and that Chinese President Xi Jinping should see the wisdom of trying to bring people together.

“That would be a catastrophe for China and of course for Hong Kong,” Patten told BBC radio. “Since President Xi has been in office, there’s been a crackdown on dissent and dissidents everywhere, the party has been in control of everything.” “I very much hope that even after 10 weeks of this going on, the government and President Xi will see the sense in establishing a way of actually bringing people together,” Patten said.

Hongkong is part of China. And Government has to take actions on the riots.

Beijing shd demand Carrie Lam's resigns & diplomatically request the withdrawal of the offending legal legislation - to save face.

the catastrophe first started when opium was forced into china.

And why exactly would a Chinese intervention in Hong-Kong be a 'catastrophe' ? Maybe the Honorable Sir Patten should give second thoughts on the concept of 'unshakable destiny'

....and inevitable. It will make Tiananmen Square look like a scuffle....

The officers in the gov get paid normally no matter how bad the situation is, and they won't be dismissed, cos, they didn't do anything wrong. Violent response will not solve this problem!
