Chris Patten, the last governor of Hong Kong, sent a New Year greeting to Hong Kong people all over the world in Cantonese through the "Hong Kong Watch" YouTube channel: "Gong Xi Fa Cai!" Sad, bluntly said: "The CCP is aggressively suppressing Hong Kong's freedom. The dictatorship and what it does will always have consequences, and sooner or later it will disappear in history."
Patten, the patron of "Hong Kong Monitor", released a New Year's video on his YouTube channel, with Hong Kong independence songs as the soundtrack.
Happy New Year to Hong Kong people around the world.
Wearing a pink shirt in the video, Chris Patten wished Hong Kong people all over the world "Happy New Year, and the Jade Rabbit welcomes the spring with joy. I hope the Year of the Rabbit will indeed bring longevity, peace and prosperity."
Patten expressed his gratitude to the Hong Kong people who have emigrated overseas: "Some of you have had to go into exile, move to the UK or other countries, and have made great contributions to the country that you now call home... I want to thank you for what you have done in the emigrated country. Of course, especially the United Kingdom." Patten also sent his best wishes to the people in Hong Kong: "I love Hong Kong. I am very sad to see what happened to her (Hong Kong). We will always miss you. "
Patten denounced in the video: "The CCP is aggressively suppressing Hong Kong's freedom, and Beijing's friends from the United Front are accomplices, doing many evils in Hong Kong."
He concluded by expressing his firm belief that dictatorships and what they do have consequences: "Sooner or later they will disappear in history. I think the values Hong Kong represents will outlast any dictatorship anywhere, including the CCP."
