the man who said those words, chris patten, now lord patten, is my guest today.hat promise been broken? and could the uk have done more to honour it? lord patten, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. has that promise, that hong kong would be run by hong kong people, been broken? yes. and it was based on the perhaps misguided assumption, which some of us had occasional doubts about, that the chinese were... the chinese communist party, let me make a distinction, would keep their word, and they have pretty comprehensively broken their word, which is contained in an international treaty lodged at the united nations called thejoint declaration. you said at the time, you wrote at the time in the hong kong diaries, which you've just published, that, "ultimately, after the handover, "much will depend on whether the chinese communist party "can actually be trusted "to honour one country, two systems," which was the deal agreed. hong kong's former chief executive, cy leung, who's now vice—chairman of china's top political advisory body, said just days ago that hong kong's demo

chris patten, the last governor of hong kong.cific editor celia hatton. 0bviously lots of celebrations going on in hong kong to mark this anniversary. who are these aimed at? you say lots of celebrations but actually it's a very well choreographed, relatively small celebration. many parts of hong kong are very quiet, people are staying home saying they don't really see what there is to celebrate because hong kong is in a really terrible place at the moment. the economy is really struggling and growth slowed 4% in the first quarter of the year and poverty at the celebrations, when you look at them on television, you could not tell the difference between a celebration that was choreographed or put out by the drop under arm of the state media inside mainland china and what was just on display in hong kong. just a case in point, when xijinping and his wife arrived in hong kong, children were gathering to waive and greet them and they said welcome in mandarin, not in cantonese, the chinese dialect spoken in hong kong, so this was not
