We talk about Hong Kong as if they had democracy when the British was in charge for 99 yrs . Chris Pattern the last governor like all British governors of Hong Kong before him was imposed on the Hong Kong people by London with not even a pretence of elections . Though I strongly support the Hong Kong people in their fight for their rights against Beijing . The British should be the last people to talk about democracy in Hong Kong .
Jimmy Wong Oh yeah right, so the fomer coloniser gets to write the rules in a territory that doesn't even belong to them? That doesn't even make any sense to me at all, as far as I'm concerned Hong Kong belongs to China NOT the British, okay? How can the former coloniser the UK have any moral right or legality to say anything, let alone demand anything from China? Its not British territory anymore. The very fact that under British rule as a British colony, Hong Kong had no political freedom, no votes no elections whatsoever, so I find it very arrogant, & very hypocritical & egotistical of the UK government & their politicians to make all these arrogant, hypocritical & ignorant statements demanding things from China, despite British history over Hong Kong & China. British have no right to say anything to China over Hong Kong, period!!!!!!!
Why is Hongkongers only given a BNO rather than a British passport. Cuz they're treating the Hongkongers as second class citizens. Hypocrisy is their norm
Communists strongly oppose the British government to grant citizenship to the HK people, the Beijing always said this is an intervention of Chinese internal affairs.
In the 1967 British Hong Kong protest, 51 people had been killed, of whom 15 died in bomb attacks, with 832 people sustaining injuries, while 4979 people were arrested and 1936 convicted.
The Hong Kong 1967 leftist riots were large-scale riots between pro-communists and their sympathisers, and the Hong Kong government. The waves of bombings did not subside until October 1967. In December, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai ordered the leftist groups in Hong Kong to stop all bombings; and the riots in Hong Kong finally came to an end. The disputes in total lasted 18 months. Please don't omit important context.

Hong Kong “had noose around it” by the British colonialists, including Christ Paten for 150 years, being denied the right to vote. Now Patten is suddenly fighting for the right of Hong Kong people. Doesn’t it sound a bit ironic?
There was no democracy under british colonial rule over Hong Kong. Patten was not elected by Hong Kong people as governor. There should have a stronger word for "hypocrisy".
And while the standard of living of Hong Kong people are declining in the most staggering rate due to the cavalier attitude of those selfish government officials ?
Haha thats what I thought. Chris Pattern and his group of so called pro democracy movement is behind all this. Come on these rioters raised a British colonial flag over legco. Wtf?! Chris Pattern wants his job back.

They don't hate British, they just hate Hypocrites. Britain is Great, that's why they called it Great Britain. Great judicial system. Just the people running it...
British themselves can't vote for their PM, and Hong Kongers under British governance couldn't vote for their governor. This is the truth of reality and history. So I can't understand the 2014 occupy central movement, that those people protested for the rights of universal suffrage. I'm not against the universal suffrage nor democracy, I just can't agree with them to take all these for granted. Because they've never had them before.
Such hypocrisy of this person and UK!!! Still have the cheek to say a word...what freedom extended during UK ruling in HK for 150 years....the right to elect the Governor of HK rested at Parliment of Britain vs now...what a joke !!+
Of course he is extremely sad. This demonstration would never have happened under his watch. The colonial master wouldn't have tolerated a protest. The police would have out in full riot gear and the ring leaders arrested way earlier. The internal security ordance would have taken care of the leaders.
British had Hong Kong for just 100 years and its amazing place.. thought china would learn how incredible the people are there in china and how far they can go with a little freedom. but i guess not there still fascist and there going to ruin it.

The British government has always acted like a British/Justice gentleman. Not to say how HK became BRUTISH COLONY AND WHAT KIND OF FREEDOM THEY HAD PROVIDED IN the100 year. Please refer to how American sees it: th-cam.com/video/gvkfwkKbBSQ/w-d-xo.html I used to have the travel document that issued by the colonial government: a British Passport. (I am qualified because I born there.) However, This is only a travel document that allows HONGKIE to travel or visit The Great Britian no more than 6 months. If British really cares what they left behind, open the door and allow HK Protester to move to London. THEM all Hongkie will be happy. The normal Hongkie get back their Peaceful living that they like, and the protester can enjoy their freedom to protest in London, I believe it will be best of British as well, as the violence is classified as freedom to protest in British law.
I don't agree with Patten on Brexit or his simpering remoaning, but he did sterling work in Hong Kong up to the hand-over. Doing the best he could, in the face of Foreign Office capitulation to China, to install a permanent democracy. Losing his seat in 1992 was the best thing that ever happened 2 million Hong Kongese. My main regret over that period was then those Hong Kong BRITISH citizens were not given the right to move to the UK. That stain cannot be removed from us. It's not like we haven't taken many more people in - and ones that don't even consider themselves British, since.

How sad to see a former Tory Chairman who has become so irrelevant in his own country and whose speeches would not be heeded by any Brit and whose only relevance now is when he picks something to talk about Hong Kong which kicked him back to UK in 1997!!
Why the police handled the way they did? What if demonstrators stormed into , I don't know, British parliament , defacing, drawing graffiti, vandalizing. Should British police politely move aside ?
Patten was bloody lucky to have got the job in Hk as governor since he was a nobody in the uk, kicked out of his county. Whilst he was there he did sweet FA and left a pile of crap. There was never any freedom whilst he was in power. What the hell did he do whilst in Hk apart from doing tea at the Peninsula.
The UK seems to have their hands tied on this issue. Do they support their former colony, Hong Kong, in their fight to retain autonomy akin to that of the EU Withdrawal, or do they show dubious empathy for mainland China? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.
For the past hundred years of colonial rule, when did the British deployed Governor ever suggest about democractic election for the people of Hong Kong? Why did only Chris Patten do that? It was because he was a total failure in his homeland and he wanted to do something "big" to raise his fame in the political circle (or circus). Secondly, it was a bargain chip when negotiating with Mainland China.

I wonder who voted for him 20 something years ago in Hong Kong
This zero-vote HK governor talked about democracy。The last colonist in the world , shame on him.
Did Chris Patten get his governorship by election in Hong Kong or thru UK appointment ? Can any English speak person answer my question ?
Mobilising the youth....all in black and masked. Well done UK.
The British government has always acted like a British/Justice gentleman.
Not to say how HK became BRUTISH COLONY AND WHAT KIND OF FREEDOM THEY HAD PROVIDED IN the100 year.
Please refer to how American sees it: th-cam.com/video/gvkfwkKbBSQ/w-d-xo.html
I used to have the travel document that issued by the colonial government: a British Passport. (I am qualified because I born there.)
However, This is only a travel document that allows HONGKIE to travel or visit The Great Britian no more than 6 months.
If British really cares what they left behind, open the door and allow HK Protester to move to London. THEM all Hongkie will be happy.
The normal Hongkie get back their Peaceful living that they like, and the protester can enjoy their freedom to protest in London, I believe it will be best of British as well, as the violence is classified as freedom to protest in British law.
I don't agree with Patten on Brexit or his simpering remoaning, but he did sterling work in Hong Kong up to the hand-over. Doing the best he could, in the face of Foreign Office capitulation to China, to install a permanent democracy. Losing his seat in 1992 was the best thing that ever happened 2 million Hong Kongese.
My main regret over that period was then those Hong Kong BRITISH citizens were not given the right to move to the UK. That stain cannot be removed from us. It's not like we haven't taken many more people in - and ones that don't even consider themselves British, since.
@Chang Sin I hope so sir. Lovely place and people.
Hypocrite.
What a hypocrite. HK had zero voting rights under his rule. Sod off
So how British acquired Hong Kong? Does Hong Kong governor under British was elected by Hong Konger? Tell us the story!
@@khooboobeng2184 the whole world knows but the former British government didn't know. He needs to go and learn history.
@@taiduong3575 Its not they dont knw, they can conveniently forgets whenever they want to. Like Najib the ex Malaysian prime minister. These ppl are the biggest conmen with conmen traits.
Look at the damage they have done: @t (@, @, @). Ask them what will the UK police do if rioters storm the parliament......
Lol the grammar.
They will shoot to kill.
A robber
Wow, that’s very British politician. When they on the position they do nothing; after they let they claim they have all the right to watch the opposition and start digging out all black records of the opposition to prove opposition is wrong (and implying they own are good).
Evil
Nobody Should Own H.K😠
Just Like The Rock Of G😈
He is a hypocrite. Had he done a proper job as governor, this rot will not have happened.
How sad to see a former Tory Chairman who has become so irrelevant in his own country and whose speeches would not be heeded by any Brit and whose only relevance now is when he picks something to talk about Hong Kong which kicked him back to UK in 1997!!
The best governor of Hong Kong ever.
China is too gentle. Just scrap the One country Two system. Force HK integrate with the mainland.
Utube1024 communist
Problem maker
This guy is a trouble making 👎👎👎
Why the police handled the way they did? What if demonstrators stormed into , I don't know, British parliament , defacing, drawing graffiti, vandalizing. Should British police politely move aside ?
If violence to the big ban, what will be happen .
Patten was bloody lucky to have got the job in Hk as governor since he was a nobody in the uk, kicked out of his county. Whilst he was there he did sweet FA and left a pile of crap. There was never any freedom whilst he was in power. What the hell did he do whilst in Hk apart from doing tea at the Peninsula.
A good leader does not need to be voted.
So what really can UK do now??
Krishneel Chand Vote for a new PM and deal with Brexit
solve the Brexit issue
what if wang yi of china comments about incident in uk!
The UK seems to have their hands tied on this issue. Do they support their former colony, Hong Kong, in their fight to retain autonomy akin to that of the EU Withdrawal, or do they show dubious empathy for mainland China? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.
For the past hundred years of colonial rule, when did the British deployed Governor ever suggest about democractic election for the people of Hong Kong? Why did only Chris Patten do that? It was because he was a total failure in his homeland and he wanted to do something "big" to raise his fame in the political circle (or circus). Secondly, it was a bargain chip when negotiating with Mainland China.
He supports the Protesters but doesn’t support independence for Britain from the EU 🤔
Because he is not a fool.
@@andrewwatson6913 That's absolutely true that he is not a fool but trying to fool the HK people especially those students. He is just a typical English politic man, who is good at double standards and being hypocritical. Talk the talk, walk the walk. Talking is cheap.
1 country = China, 2 systems = China's system and HK's system. So what got to do with USA and UK?
They want the bill from MAs and CIA worth the money
If China renege on their International Treaty we should take Hong Kong back and reinstate democracy.
The truth is that Hong Kong is doing great and it is showing the rest of China that the rest of their country could also benefit by escaping Leninism
Except we are in any situation currently unable to retake anything back.
@@bijimon7850 Agreed, but if there's one thing the UK can generally rely on... Its "soft power"... the world would support our endeavours.
Hk should of never been handed over!
@@jameshartley95 Partially agree. Referendum should have been held. HK and the Chinese regime were never destined to work well.
T Beck china will bomb ur britainistan back to stone age
It wouldn’t surprise me if CIA was the architect behind this.
his son in law broke the law as robbery....what an irony😂😂🎉🎉🎉

Appreciate your honest, kind and sensible words Sir Chris
What a waste a space. HK people should understand that they are chinese citizen and have loyalty to China, not Britain
They have loyalty to Hong Kong. Many of them have status as British Nationals.
@@DylanSargesson Hong Kong is part of China - if these people cannot pledge loyalty to China, they should leave. Try going to UK where the BNO passport doesnt confer right of abode.
the title should be " Former colonizer Chris Patten praises protesters"
I hope HK becomes its own city-state, à la Singapore. This is a great interview.
singapore wasn't part of a country who was rob from, AKA Hongkong which is robbed from china
HongKongers need support from the world to fight against CCP.
