Freedom of speech is the US not UK. UK law is freedom of expression up until it's abusive or offensive towards protected characteristics like race, religion, sex......
@@JeanLooksPicard People in the USA and UK get free speech but they don't get a say in the political system unless they have millions of dollars. In China, people have mostly free speech, they just can't criticize the CCP or its history in an "insulting manner". But in exchange, the people of China have far more local democracy, voting, petitioning, and political involvement at local levels, far more than in the USA or UK. The West aren't the world's stewards of democracy.
I was born in HK whilst under UK rule and I remember no one had the opportunity to vote, the governor of HK was appointed by the Queen, in fact all senior government positions were white people from UK, senior police were from UK or India. In the 1960s the local Chinese protested against the British government and many people were killed by the HK police. The HK government under UK rule also banned media about communist China. As for the new extradition laws, as far as I know all countries including HK during British rule had an extradition law in place allowing criminals to be extradited to other countries including Britain.
I can’t even get through this video without cringing. Brits telling the Chinese what human rights are!!! Do they even teach their own colonial history in the UK?
for a seat in the UK house of commons? Im not aware any UK territories today have a representative they elect into the commons. i think HK did have some sort of elections though
Just go listen to the Canadian, Cyrus Jansen, he went and lived in China, and he has a very objective and sober view of life in China. My problem with these people is, that when pur on the spot, the waffle and spin. I hate when people trash-talks their own countries when they are trying to win the favor of their new host country.
People like these are better off leaving HK. These idiots will fit right in UK, as a sub servants and a laborer. Can you imagine a PHD degree or an doctor in HK comes over to UK and works in a warehouse for $13 an hour. Nice decision. Maybe some day when you kid get bullied on the school bus because they are yellow, you can go tell you kids that is the price to pay for "freedom".
I benefited greatly from HKers leaving HK. My career prospects opened up quite a lot. As an Australian, I don’t think leaving for political reasons is a good reason to leave HK. I’m able to speak freely and I’m no less free here than if I lived in Australia. There are so many misinformed statements here. I really don’t know where to start.
Just the Island and Kowloon, and old girl Thatcher goofed up by returning those as It would have been a good strategic springboard for NATO. She was always a bit thick!
@@RakeshKrishnanMplusS Would not have been able to hold onto them, they did not have enough water to supply themselves and long before the handover date the Chiense were making incursions, kidnapping police and attacking people. No point starting a second Korean war for some small islands, but yeah Thatcher sucked.
People from Hong Kong easily integrated into UK as they had 100 years plus assimilation under British systems and British values - at least four generations. Likewise, they integrated into Canada especially Vancouver during the 2000s. And unlikely to ever return to Hong Kong.
The struggle for immigrants is not confined to post-industrial areas of the UK but is international for new arrivals seeking to establish themselves. The UK is far from perfect but if it is an opportunity for these families then I think most countries would welcome hardworking legal immigrants like these. Personally, I wish them all luck in their journey - I have employment-immigrated to three countries and the early days of struggle must be seen as an investment.
It is good for HongKong’s prosperity in long run for those people to leave, Hong Kong will be better off. I hope they don’t regret their decision. HongKong never had free election or right under UK rule, but they want that when China is taking over. I find it very ironic.
I got no offence with any of them .but thus country is way way more than full hence nothing works ..and they say we cant fill vacancies here well if you don't educate no 1 in getting these jobs then guess what no1 here can fill the vacancies..lets go hire people from countries where they do educate our own absolute joke this country!! Unless mummy an daddy got a silver spoon the normal average uk is left to rot in pittance...hate this country let's look after everyone else but our own
Such hypocrisy! At least Jimmy Lai is getting a trial, talk to Julian Assange about democracy and freedom of speech in the UK. Oh and the terrible extradition law? Doesn't UK and all developed western countries have extradition treaties with other developed countries? Again talk to Julian Assange about extradition laws.
UK must have plenty of jobs for these HK migrants. If HK wants democracy, get UK to send their army there. Otherwise, dream on. UK has no guts or money to fight China or force China to cede HK again.
UK doesn't have the ability by itself, even with NATO they wouldn't be able as that would drive China and Russia together and NATO wouldn't stand a chance!
They ain't going to find freedom of speech here 😅😅

Yeah...go tell the Muslim British people about their right to protest.

These idiots know nothing about the British rule of law and their history of slavery, or forced Opium down the throat of the Chinese 150 years ago.
To have a taste of racism there
When UK was governing HK how come there were no general elections?
Because we don’t speak about pre 97 when English ruled, brush that under the rug

@@teggyegg LOL, you're an egg alright!
White people are self righteous, double standard, genocidal hypocrites?
Shh! That goes against the 'Beijing always bad' and 'let's ignore our colonial history' theme the UK political and media class insist on peddling. 😉

Totally agree with u
UK in this situation is like a robber that try to tell the victim (china) how to manage the property that they robbed.
hard to swallow the truth??
Divide and rule tactics by the West (Mainly UK and US) are no longer effective.
Sad to see all these "pawns" are put on the table to be sacrificed.

Do you condemn the colonial rule by force for 150 years?
HK Island was PERMANENTLT annexed. Study your history!

Yup 100yrs of being second class citizens tend to stick and be obedient to one’s colonial masters.
Yes, the masters have trained them well.
And they're most welcome here.
And a large amount of them will probably move back to Hong Kong once the British economy and society continues to tank and decline.
A dog that can look after the house is a good dog, and a dog that can't look after the house is an Irishman in the eyes of Queen Victoria.
Pre 1997, anyone who insult the British Royal Family would be thrown into prison in Hong Kong.

They are going to UK to free them from anarchy.
Isn’t it emigrating not immigrating?
Tell Julian Assange about freedom of speech !! What a load of garbage!
is this a comedy show?

She is spinning ..
Trying to find some substance in what she is saying ..
Who knows 🤷♂️
Let's not overhype this. Hong Kong's population only shrank by -0.08% in 2022 and it has since rebounded.

Fair trade for the right of freedom of speech, specifically, to advocate sedition and treason.
