Before Hong Kong was returned to China on July 1st, 25 years ago, Chris Patten, the last governor of Hong Kong during British rule, said in an interview with NHK, "To Hong Kong, China. We should continue to blame our dishonest response. "
In an interview with NHK in London, Mr. Patten said that the situation in Hong Kong was unpredictable when it was returned 25 years ago. "In 1997, when it was returned, the Chinese Communist Party promised. I thought it would protect Hong Kong, give Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy, and continue to protect its freedom under the rule of law, but that changed when President Xi Jinping became the party's leader. Is getting worse. "
He argued that Britain's position as a former suzerain "we should continue to blame China's dishonest response to Hong Kong."
In addition, it is important that the special visa issued by the British government to those who are qualified as "overseas citizens" of the United Kingdom born in Hong Kong before the return can be used by the younger generation born after the return. I showed the idea that it was.
