Op-ed at @Independent by @BillyFung14 & I
1/ The Hong Kong protest movement won the elections battle – but the war over our five demands is still ongoing
As encouraging as the victory was, we have a long way to go before we can turn our attention away from the central cause.
2/ As our former prime minister Winston Churchill said in 1942, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” We would like to make a plea to our old friends in the UK once again.
3/ Now is the time for us to work closely in this perennial struggle. Free-election is the only way out. I just remember the quote from Lord Alton “If great cities like London or NY can have directly elected mayors then why can't HK?"https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/hong-kong-protests-demands-election-democracy-china-us-uk-carrie-lam-a9228351.html …
yes！fighting！fighting！
Remember how the UK proposed granting Hong Kong universal suffrage for several decades after WW2, but Mao threatened to invade if they did?
I only wish @downingcollege Cambridge would grow a spine
Standing with you in all small ways we can even if the politicians are not. #StandWithHongKong
Isn't Hong Kong just being rented by the British? and the rental period is expired.
HK was ceded to the British after China lost the 1st opium war & Kowloon after the 2nd opium war. The New Territories were leased from China in 1898 for 99 years. Prior to lease expiration, the UK agreed to return all of HK/Kowloon to China under the Sino British Joint Declation.
