The Last Governor 1: A Democratic Time-Bomb, part 1 of 7
Tsing Ma Bridge
Image by Benjamin Po
Tsing Ma Bridge is a bridge in Hong Kong. It is the world’s seventh-longest span suspension bridge, and was the second longest at time of completion.

– what time is hong kong
BBC documentary (five parts in the entire series) about Chris Patten, the popular last Governor of Hong Kong, and his democratic reforms which were undone by China. He was quite possibly the first and only leader Hong Kong ever had (with the possible exception of Sir Murray Maclehose) that put Hong Kong’s interests above that of her colonial masters, be that China, Japan or Britain. Since then the Hong Kong people have become more embolden, with 500000 people marching in 2003 calling for full universal suffrage for the Chief Executive and the resignation of Patten’s successor Tung Chee-Wah after a series of spectacular policy failures. Today, Mr. Patten (who left Hong Kong with and %80 approval rating), is welcomed back to Hong Kong with great enthusiasm by the people whenever he returns to visit. Note: I would like to apologise to everyone for allowing comments to be added to this video only after I have approved them. Unfortunately, videos of Hong Kong politics tend to arouse the passions of various small individuals who find it necessary to leave offensive flames posts, quite often of a pathetically nationalistic or blatantly racist nature. I’m afraid that such irresponsible posts will not be entertained and communications from such people will be ignored – threats will be reported. I will, however, be delighted to post messages of an intelligent and constructive nature, especially those that encourages enlightened debate.

how’s life there
9)are there any foreigners there?
10) do you want the ten points? 
Best answer:
Answer by AnOnYmOuS!!
It’s cold, windy and rainy, because it happens to be winter. Xmas just went by and Chinese New Year (CNY)is right around the corner, so they have amazing discounts til then. Even with no discounts, HK is still great for shopping. Because CNY is coming up (mid/end of January) thousands of tourists from China will be coming in, so it’s a terrible time to be there, especially when trying to look for hotels, it’s high season, prices go up like crazy, and it’s too crowded.
If you just went to HK I assure you it hasn’t changed much since last summer, it’s still as fun/boring as it was the last time you came, some people hate it, some love it.
Life is great for some, but very expensive. It all depends on your income. Lots of foreigners, and because lots of people speak English, that’s why so many of them feel comfortable living there.

1.9.) Finally, I apologise for so lengthy a reply, unfortunately youtube gives me little other choice. If you made it this far I thank you kindly for reading and your discussion. I look forward to more. If I may I would like to suggest a book: DE FACTO FEDERALISM IN CHINA: REFORMS AND DYNAMICS OF CENTRAL-LOCAL RELATIONS by Zheng Yongnian
January 18th, 2012 at 9:56 am
1.8.) On the LEGCO election; Anson Chan’s victory was a thankfully foregone conclusion, but HK’s former No.2 on side with the Pan-demos is a greater upset to China than a Trotskyist (Long hair) as it lends legitimacy to the cause. On the Dist. Council elections, commentators agree there were many factors for the pro-Beijing victory, but a change in ideology was not one of them. Ultimately, LEGCO’s importance is more than the Dist Council as it is the law making body of HK
January 18th, 2012 at 10:15 am
1.7.) I feel we must know our strengths & articulate the consequences to Beijing of imposing the unacceptable. We, not China, should be responsible in determining our future. Then, from a position of strength, a truly lasting future can be negotiated that can suit us both. Provided we give China opportunity to rationalise our new position, I’m sure they would agree. After all, it would be the pragmatic thing to do and any mistakes made would be our burden, not theirs.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:02 am
1.6.) At worst, should we be truly threatened by China, our power lies in our ability to severely dent China’s growth (hence the CCPs power base), the instability our collective anger can cause and the effect that could inspire on other regions in China, and international trade & relations. Compared to other regions in China, here reprisals against opposition have consequences. I do not advocate this, but it is a collective ‘panic button’ we can press.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:46 am
1.5.) I fear that if we remain passive, China, seeking cultural hegemony over us (which, in their eyes equals stability), will simply take that as our acceptance (or apathy) and implement through local channels whatever they want. Likely a facade of democracy that will always favour China rather than Hong Kong. Such a scenario is hardly democracy and is not worth the effort of even keeping quite.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
1.4.) Your point about Long Hair is well taken (I prefer Emily Lau!), but his election is immaterial if half of LEGCO is appointed, China can ignore him if every motion he proposes is defeated by appointees. So if our modest democratic institutions fail to deliver reform were else could we turn but to the streets, as we so successfully did in 2003? There is no evidence to warrant the faith so many put in China’s benevolence towards democratic progress in HK.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
1.3.) As pragmatists covets stability above all else, the CCP and local cronies would unlikely impose upon us something that we would angrily reject. The 2003 protest was a clear example of that, as it firmly stopped article 23 when our lawmakers didn’t. But Beijing must always have the appearance of legitimacy, hence Tung was blamed, even though he was essentially appointed by Jiang
January 18th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
1.2.)The CCP can justify such contradictions provided 1.) It is conducive to long term prosperity 2.) There is a face-saving explanation for such policy, even if it is a form of doublethink. Today the CCP’s power no longer grows not only out the barrel of a gun but also in its ability to provide growth, and hence hope to many millions that are sadly still poor and upon whose backs ride revolution. Therefore, stability is the coveted prize, as it is the environment where economic growth occurs
January 18th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
1.1.) Indeed an excellent point and the standard view in HK. But allow me to present another POV: Since the Pragmatists, headed by Deng, won the power struggle over the Maoists, we have seen the successive leaderships of China become more relativist in the approach to problems. e.g. De facto but not de jure Taiwan independence, socialist market economy alongside nationalism, & other contradictions.
January 18th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
But I believe as new generation of leaders takes leadership in China, they will respect Hong Kong’s cultural intergrity and political more, but before they can do that, they need to trust the reformers in Hong Kong are not Chen Shui Bien style agitators, and the legco election this year shows that Hong Kongers are not willing to have agitators like “long hair” to run the territory. Yes, reforms are good, but we can’t afford too much agitation.
January 18th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
5.) Never under the UK has our way of life been so under siege. I say that not to praise Britain as much as it is to show what our future holds. We are a people worth defending, not necessarily from bullets, but from apathy and Beijing, whose agenda is cultural hegemony over HK, I believe the fight is on, not for our wallets, but for who we are as a distinct people and whether we will be recognisable after 2047 or even sooner
January 18th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
4.) As for democratic progress, frankly, it will be unlikely that we will ever get to choose our CE unless the candidates have been vetted by Beijing, as for Legco, unless functional constituencies are abolished it remains a rubber stamp. On personal freedoms; Article 23 was proposed and only withdrawn after 500,000 protesters demanded it and then only after the LP withdrew support
January 18th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
3.) But that’s not where the problem lies. Under the UK, HK’s cultural integrity, personal liberties and democratic progress were improving. Under China all have fallen backwards. On identity; we have felt pressure from Beijing for blind nationalism, our pro-democratic lawmakers threatened, Yeung Kwong, a leftist terrorist, given the Grand Bauhinia Medal. Told we have ‘no residual power’, calls for greater incorporation into China, even suggestions that HK & Shenzhen merge.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
2.) However, I could not imagine China not forging closer ties with HK, esp in the absence of democratic reform. Even if HK were still under British rule or even independent, it would not make sense, politically or economically, for a very relativist Chinese govt not to do so. After all, we still have much to offer each other.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
1.) I agree that things are slightly better than expected economically, indeed CEPA has been mutually beneficial (even a little in HKs favour). And, with the exception of the right of abode issue, China has abided by the JD & Basic Law. I must disagree that HK’s international status was purely a result of China’s growth, but it was certainly a contributing factor.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Not at all, glad you enjoyed it
January 18th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
Indeed, Patten is one of our best govenors, and we can’t forget him, but we can’t dismiss China’s economic contribution to Hong Kong’s development, as well as China’s promise in its principles of “one country, two systems” formula. I think now people in Hong Kong still enjoys the autonomy and freedoms as it does during the British rules, and that Hong Kong has risen to a great International status as well as importance by China’s rapid growth

I’ve managed to find it on VHS on a BBC education website. However, £625 (and I’m not joking), seems a bit steep.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:57 pm
Sorry, but I haven’t been able to find DVD or video copies anywhere, that was the reason I posted my old videotaped copies here. The only thing I can suggest is going to “download you tube videos dot com” (sorry youtube won’t let me post links here) and follow the instructions (you’ll need the media player VLC, available at “videolan dot org”, to watch the download movies)
