14 күн бұрын

Hong Kong marks 27 years since its return to Chinese sovereignty with national security laws firmly in place. Former Hong Kong lawmaker Emily Lau says the city has come "under control" since protests in 2019 and it's time for Beijing to adopt a "more relaxed policy" for businesses to thrive. Meanwhile, Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce CEO Patrick Yeung argues that the city remains a successful international hub connecting the mainland and the world. They speak with David Ingles and Stephen Engle on "Bloomberg: The China Show."

Emily Lau misses the good old colonial days where Hong Kongers were treated as 2nd or 3rd class citizens by their colonial masters. She should migrate to the West and see how well she will be treated!

@simonsimon1814 10 күн бұрын

2nd or 3rd class maybe. At least they were not in jail. As for how well they are treated. Some were "treated" quite well. Many got the Nobel prize working in the US. The largest number of ethnic Chinese winners were from the US, not China. Some even got elected to work in government. Some not "treated" quite well. More exactly not doing well depending on education level. I guess it happens in every country including China. Some "treated" well. Some not "treated" well. You don't need to worry about Emily Lau. She got tons of experience both inside and outside government. She speaks better English than you. She will have no problem if she chooses to emigrate:)

As HKer, I was brought up watching western (US) cowboy movies, educated overseas and worked in two western countries before returning. A 100% colonial bred. I have been watching the performance of Ms Lau for years. I am sick and tired of these bunch of hypocrites ruining my hometown. It is these very people who had rejected and ruined the "one person one vote" proposition for the election of CE in 2013/4, now they blamed the government for their own wrong doings. Secondly, we are very happy that the NS law has restored law and order here and it is no different from that of other countries e.g. Singapore, UK, or US etc. My personal freedom have not been affected in anyway since the enactment of the NS law in 2020. Thirdly, Ms Lau and her ''friends" do not represent the views and opinions of the majority of HK people. The numbers of BNO applications and those opt to stay speak volumes (the freedom to choose). Fourthly, Ms Lau and her ''friends'' know exactly what they have done openly and behind the scene, and they surely should bear the consequences. Please don't pretend to be innocent!! You are NOT!! (It reminds me of the scene by Al Pacino and 'Carlo Rizzi' in God Father.) Ms Lau, the Carlo Rizzi of HK, has betrayed the HK people. Don't pretend that you are doing us any good! Leave us alone and HK will be a better place. BNO is the option for you! LEAVE!

HK was very important for the western nations to trade, drug and exploit China in the 19th century. This was when the west dominated the world productions. The British and French were willing to sacrifice their sons to fight the Chinese and won in order to secure more ground to trade, drug and exploit the Chinese. It made sense to colonise HK when one was powerful militarily and in manufacturing. Today, manufacturing power has shifted from the west to China. The west do not see any more incentives to remain in HK. Western companies can't compete with the Chinese giants anymore and many will leave sooner or later. Over the next few decades, Chinese companies will overwhelm the world and western companies may not be able to survived longer in HK. They will leave eventually.

UK was extremely reluctant to hand Hong Kong back, Charlie (then prince and now king) showed it every well throughout the ceremony. So UK and USA are in concert to stir riot, encouraging slash and burn Hong Kong to the ground but failed. Now, HK citizens can enjoy peace and prosperity, and this PISSES UK and USA off. The UK ruled HK without democracy for 150+ years and a moment before handing over, the UK created the BASIC LAW, sowing the seeds of trouble. There were 1000s of UK and USA agents all over HK conducting the riots.

The times are changing, and if the people of Hong Kong can't change the times, then they should adapt to them. After all, Hong Kong may not be as important as Hongkongers imagine. I'm just saying, as a mainlander, I am truly tired of Hongkongers pretending not to understand Chinese and then using broken English to communicate. Sometimes, I just want to buy a pack of cigarettes, that's all.

Be real. . . You ought to have understood that the "One Country, Two Political Systems" scheme was a concession that Beijing had to accept. The British would have insisted on retaining their hypocritical control over an important territory. The 2019 protests, which morphed from a peaceful demand for affordable housing, insidiously morphed into violent demands to have democratic government. It's not idle speculation to ask how much of that was the fruit of work by the CIA/NED. Beijing now has to do what it knew all along would become necessary. Chinese and Westerners who cannot accept that HK must be fully integrated into China ought to simply move elsewhere.

Big protest does not bear any weight on measuring a good economy. Dubai does not relies on democracy to became rich or benefiting their citizens. mBridge is jointly developed by Hong Kong, which has nothing to do with big protest or activist movements.
