"The whole idea of a free market economy under the rule of law living happily within the control and jurisdiction of a communist totalitarian state was preposterous. It was an oxymoronic contradiction on stilts."
This particular quote is from the book by former British Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten. In fact, the last British Governor of Hong Kong. He quotes Mr. Milton Friedman here. Under party leader Xi Jin Ping, the treaty signed by China(extending the current system of British Law in HK for 50 years after the handing over in 1997) to recognize Hong Kong as part of one-country under two systems. China now regards the treaty as a "relic" of history. This is, as Mr. Patten says, " an extraordinary way of talking about an international treaty." Beijing's brazen violation of its pledge to protect Hong Kong's way of life is a warning how far China will go wherever it can. Despite Mr. Patten's best efforts, Hong Kong became the canary in the mine shaft, showing what happens when the Chinese Communist Party is allowed to get its way.
Jimmy Lai: can you hear me?
