How Hong Kong Has Changed 27 Years Since Handover

Bloomberg!!!! Why still operating in HK. Move over to somewhere else to suit your reporting.

HK residents: "UK, mind your own business. You are just a nobody."

Emily Lau misses the good old colonial days where Hong Kongers were treated as 2nd or 3rd class citizens by their colonial masters. She should migrate to the West and see how well she will be treated!

Shes not happy, go away.

You like or not, HK is the territory of China. For the people of HK and foreigners, if they do not like to live and work there, you are free to leave. No one is indispensable anywhere.

Ms Lau are asking for things that's never available under British, why is she talking like all those things/rights are taken away for some reason when it never have to begin with?

Emily Lau should move to US, she will feel all the love from westerners 😂😂

As HKer, I was brought up watching western (US) cowboy movies, educated overseas and worked in two western countries before returning. A 100% colonial bred. I have been watching the performance of Ms Lau for years. I am sick and tired of these bunch of hypocrites ruining my hometown. It is these very people who had rejected and ruined the "one person one vote" proposition for the election of CE in 2013/4, now they blamed the government for their own wrong doings. Secondly, we are very happy that the NS law has restored law and order here and it is no different from that of other countries e.g. Singapore, UK, or US etc. My personal freedom have not been affected in anyway since the enactment of the NS law in 2020. Thirdly, Ms Lau and her ''friends" do not represent the views and opinions of the majority of HK people. The numbers of BNO applications and those opt to stay speak volumes (the freedom to choose). Fourthly, Ms Lau and her ''friends'' know exactly what they have done openly and behind the scene, and they surely should bear the consequences. Please don't pretend to be innocent!! You are NOT!! (It reminds me of the scene by Al Pacino and 'Carlo Rizzi' in God Father.) Ms Lau, the Carlo Rizzi of HK, has betrayed the HK people. Don't pretend that you are doing us any good! Leave us alone and HK will be a better place. BNO is the option for you! LEAVE!

When Hong Kong was under British rule, were they allowed to elect their own governor? Did the British approve of the march against them in Hong Kong? Did they grant independence to Hong Kong?

More important is that Hong Kong needs peace, safety, and security, not like 2019 chaos and riots. This woman and her party are troublemakers.

Moved to Hong Kong from the UK in 2018. Lived through the riots and COVID. I can confidently say moving here was the best decision I ever made. It is safe, resilient and has a much higher quality of life now I have a young family. Also, frankly the future of the world is shifting towards the Global South. I'm firmly staying here in the long run.

As a HK resident I can attest that those jailed activists are not as innocent as Emily described

Emily Lau should leave HK as she is insisting on the western values over the Chinese own values. She will be in trouble when coercing with the foreign powers to destablize HK.

This woman certainly seems agitated without putting any facts, data to prove her point. Useless Karen

Emily, you can't go back to when you were 30 yrs old. That also applies to Hong Kong. That ship has sailed.

march, protest since 1997..... so what about before 1997 under British rule?? can they march, protest too? she totally misinterpreted 1 country 2 systems... which no country will allow sedition and treason

Someone should make it known to Emily that her past allies are not coming to Hong Kong anymore. In fact they aren't going anywhere else but home. Economies in the west are in tatters. They cannot afford to travel like in the past.

Hongkong is not for Emily Lau. Go, go to the West. Hongkongers are happy.

This HK woman should be given a reference of what has happened to those rioters at Capitol Hill, or Steve Bannon. Freedom has its framework. Those HK rioters wanted HK independence from China. That is never gonna happen and too much to ask.

HK was very important for the western nations to trade, drug and exploit China in the 19th century. This was when the west dominated the world productions. The British and French were willing to sacrifice their sons to fight the Chinese and won in order to secure more ground to trade, drug and exploit the Chinese. It made sense to colonise HK when one was powerful militarily and in manufacturing. Today, manufacturing power has shifted from the west to China. The west do not see any more incentives to remain in HK. Western companies can't compete with the Chinese giants anymore and many will leave sooner or later. Over the next few decades, Chinese companies will overwhelm the world and western companies may not be able to survived longer in HK. They will leave eventually.
