It is good to show the right informations despite this stupid western interviewer. But through it, the right informations can be explored to the western public.

The following was the reaction of some of us after seeing the BBC Hardtalk when Mr Sackur interviewed Ronny Tong with such bias and arrogance. If you have any contact in the UK that could have our views published, Please help. In anyway, we will have this circulated amongst us Dear Mr. Sackur, I watched your interview with Ronny Tong on Hardtalk on Hong Kong’s new National Security Law with such disillusionment and anguish that I need to write to you on behalf of a large group of concerned Hong Kong citizens who love Hong Kong and China. Please do not jump to the conclusion at this point that we are being brainwashed by your idea of a brutal totalitarian regime or how else could we love China. The truth is, we were born and brought up in colonial Hong Kong treacherously brainwashed to hate our own Motherland through the colonial education system and the soft scheming tactics the infamous UK colonizer knows best. If we do not keep ourselves abreast with new information and widen our horizon to a global view and learn in particular the history of the British Empire or that of the US which has been at war 225 out of its 243 years since it was founded in 1776, we will remain unenlightened like today’s heavily brainwashed young people fighting in the streets for their so called noble cause of “democracy and freedoms”, a cause that they hardly understand and with very few of the western world truly practicing. You started off with a biased and inaccurate introductory statement saying that “the people of HK are getting used to a new reality - a draconian National Security Law made in China and imposed on the territory with no meaningful consultation, and that pro-democracy activists call it the death of “One Country Two Systems” principle. Just in case it was an oversight or that you don’t really understand the word “draconian”, we like to tell you that it means cruel, harsh, oppressive, brutal and so on. You may wish to sit down and read very carefully our new National Security Law and learn exactly what it entails. You may also wish to know that every country in the world has national security laws of varying severity, some more sophisticated than others. The US has for example at least 20 legislations related to national security, more than any other country in peacetime. A look back at how these laws came into being reveals a longstanding preoccupation with national security that never has to justify itself. In the UK, national security laws are scattered in various legislations of the past two centuries, covering all territories. Please check all that for yourself and compare those with ours and decide which are more “draconian” to you. You may wish to know that China has invested heavily in “One Country Two Systems” since 1984 with full appreciation and of course the hope that if Hong Kong succeeds, it will benefit not only Hong Kong, it will also serve as an exemplary model to show Taiwan for our eventual and inevitable reunification, which the western world may not like to see. Fundamental to that success is the rule of law, stability and above all, national security which is gravely endangered since June last year. For more than 9 months, our law enforcement police officers have been repeatedly attacked with petrol bombs, with their family members identified and threatened while ordinary citizens with different views brutalized, maimed and even killed. Our courts have been set on fire or bombed, while banks, businesses, restaurants or any institutions even remotely related to Mainland China have been torched and vandalized. Our subway and railway networks have been repeatedly destroyed and very often on a daily basis when ordinary citizens could not even go to work. Rioters even occupied our universities during November last year for weeks, and turned some of them into bomb-making factories. Please tell us if you know of any country that would sit back and do nothing when, over so many months, indiscriminate violence and destruction were unleashed on its streets by violent protesters, causing injuries, death and unspeakable devastation. Trump called protesters in Minneapolis “thugs” and said that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”. Your very own Prime Minister has said anti-racism protests were “subverted by thuggery” after some demonstrators clashed with police. With all the pain and suffering we have endured during those incredible months of violence and devastation, western media accused our most self-restrained police, nowhere seen in any other parts of the world, of police brutality, and that our rioters are “peaceful demonstrators for democracy and freedoms” when all of our freedoms that we enjoy so much after 1997 are completely destroyed by these rioters, brainwashed and funded by the western world led by the US to make sure China must no longer grow and prosper. If you have done your homework and read the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984, you will find that it contained China’s commitment to upholding “national and territorial integrity” which is now incorporated into the Basic law. And under the Basic Law, Hong Kong is entrusted to enact its own national security laws which we have not been able to achieve for 23 years and you should not wonder why as you know very well that the western world would use every ounce of its power to make sure that we fail. Hong Kong has become an international spying center and the separatists are now using Hong Kong as a base to try to secure Hong Kong Independence. Beijing has always wanted to give us a high degree of autonomy after 1997 and it has kept its promise for 23 years but when fanatics are trying so hard to destroy us, Beijing is forced to do something: it has been too soft and for too long: “it must provide Hong Kong with a tailor-made law to protect Hong Kong from subversion, secession, terrorist acts and foreign intervention, and the only people with anything to fear are those who threaten national security, including those who collude with foreign powers to harm our city, something you would never tolerate in the UK” - a direct quote from Grenville Cross, an ex-Director of Public Prosecutions of Hong Kong. To most of us living in Hong Kong, this National Security Law comes really too late but then it’s always better late than never and we were all celebrating upon its enactment and coming into effect on July 1. If you have bothered to listen patiently to Mr Tong, you will find it in your heart how biased western reporting has been, from the riots in Hong Kong last year, whitewashed as peaceful pro-democracy protests, to the lockdown of Wuhan and other Chinese cities, derided as draconian and an abuse of human rights, and that only the willfully blind will fail to see that it is being waged by the US and some of its allies to stymie a rising China just so they can hold on to their global hegemony no matter how people who are so affected suffer hugely because of it. The US might wish to remain the world’s number 1 power, and China has no interest in taking over. So please leave us alone. A group of like-minded citizens of Hong Kong

With an interviewer like this, indeed it will be Hard to Talk.

Ronny tong wasn't answering the questions. That's why the reporter kept interrupting him. After all Ronny Tong couldn't explain why the national safety law doesn't destroy one country two system when hk ppl can be sent to the court in China under serious conditions. He was refused to ans this question by saying sth irrelevant. Infact, he was doing this in the whole interview. This is an usual trick that they, the pro-ccp politicians, will use when ansing questions from hk reporter.

This is actually a common thing to do in interviews and also shows he was prepared for a real dialogue. He did not end the quotes "what is your response to this?" but that was clearly implied. But instead of addressing the substance, the quarrelsome guest challenges the format. Sadly, this is typical in many "debates" where clear ground rules are not set. Also, the wrong guest was chosen for this. Some people will never leave the bubbles they inhabit.

@Miranda1184 People were arrested (10 I think) under the NSL on 1 July 2020. One for waiving a flag. The motorcyclist and man who stabbed the police man are vile people who should be charged but whether such acts fall under NSL is a question worth asking. I would suggest that they were criminal acts not national security issues. We are now in a situation where public libraries and schools are removing books that have, in some cases, been on their shelves for years out of fear that they contravene the NSL. That's scary and the top of a slippery slope that HK does not want to go down. What will they do with the books that are rejected? Burn them? We know where that leads. Years ago when at uni in the UK my college SU want to remove Mein Kampf from the library on the basis that it incited racial hatred. Many of us successfully campaigned against its removal, not because it was a vile book (it is), but because it was important for the modern history students to have access to it and most importantly, we must not censor what people (adults) can read even if it's only to remind ourselves that there are some very scary ideas out there. Democracy, isn't a scary idea nor is independence of thought.

How can you name Nathan Law, one single person, and the word of one person - to make you the right to make such allegation that people are fear to stay in Hong Kong, - one single person, and you did not check that millions of people in Hong Kong welcome that law.

The host's point of view has been preconceived, an arrogant performance, is indeed hardtalk. Britain is no longer the former empire of the sun never sets, and the BBC has repeatedly shown that he is not willing to admit the fact of decline.

Over-reliance on Chinese exports which are no longer cheap like they were in the 1990s. China's growth is now domestic, stagnating HK's growth. 2. A flood of foreign investors pricing out the local workers in the housing market, plus an intentional public housing shortage. Great for the economy, bad for the people.

superchan7 I’ve lived in hk for over a decade and I agree totally. It’s a movement underpinned by anti-chinese racism and the net result of their efforts is that we are less free now than we were before because they forced the hand of the ccp and made a strong case against the viability of one country two systems. Can you imagine the outcry if local activists conspired with foreign powers to undermine the sovereignty of the USA or UK and cause instability there? Maybe we don’t have to imagine actually with everything going on. And now I see tiktok, wechat and other Chinese based social media apps are in the crosshairs in the west and are likely to be banned for exactly the same reasons the ccp bans such western apps in China. When China does it its censorship and they’re fascists, but when a western democracy does such a thing it’s somehow a positive. As far as I can see the ccp is the one thing standing in the way of hk becoming an all out oligarchy, where the problems you described would only get way way worse.

I am very impressed by former Queen's Counsel and Senior Counsel Ronny Tong.

Stephen, Ronny Tong was too polite to say it. I, on the other hand, have to speak the truth even if it hurt your ego. The main reason why your country let in Hong Kong people with BNO have the right to stay in your country for 5 years, after 5 years will have the 'opportunity' to apply for citizenship. It sounds like it is helping those Hong Kong people who want to exit Hong Kong. The reality is your country is in need of money. This is the opportunity for your country to get money for nothing.

We are living in Hong Kong, we enjoyed our freedom and led a peaceful life, not until June 2019 when the protestor destroyed our life. With the National Security Law imposed, we will soon get back to our normal life.

My great respect to Mr Ronny Tong for standing his ground in the face of such relentless badgering.

National Security Law is very important and necessary for Hong Kong to restore peace and rule of law which have been severely damaged by the rioters and thugs and those anti-govt politicians in coalition with foreign powers in last year. The new law will bring hope, peace, stability and prosperity back to Hong Kong. Please don't be deceived by those anti-govt politicians and hypocritic foreign powers which aim to make use of Hong Kong to bring mishaps to China.

This Steven is certainly one of the worst interviewers in the world. He was rude and arrogant. He was too eager to "read" his lines which were nothing but lies and misinformation. Yet he wanted so much to make Ronny to respond to such lies or even agree to the lies. What a jerk ! We Hong Kong people need the National Security Laws to protect us from those rioters /traitors who have almost destroyed Hong Kong in the past year !

It seems that a lot of ppl in there support this new national security law. And also this interview makes me realize that the news wants to make ppl think what they want but not what is actually happening and if you want to find out the truth you must listen to ppl opinions, in this case, ppl from hong kong

Exactly! If China introduced these laws two years ago, HK people probably would have gone on the street to protest. But in the past year we observed how those violent rioters destroying HK, taking our freedom and safety away, with the encouragement of USA, we understand that it is important to have these laws! You can go to my channel to see some of the horrible things rioters did and how we feel about them.

Andres, sadly, this is what western media do. To begin with, in their mind, they are already anti China. Every country has its good and bad but they only report the bad when China is concerned. Then they only interview those who are anti China but not those who are pro China. So they hearing only one side of the story but not the other side. Hence this is very unfair and biased reporting. And because they have the privilege to broadcast their report on a large scale, they have the opportunity to “brainwash” their readers, listeners and viewers with their one-sided reporting. Have you ever watched China media at all? If not, please do and then you can judge for yourself. Thank you.

First, they are two different and unrelated things. There is no meaning to quote British security law because they are based on totally different social backgrounds. Second, the fact that British government imposed the law without consultation cannot prove the rightness of Hong Kong’s law without consultation. That’s like you cannot say bullying others is good since your neighbor is also bullying people. Third, I am not concerned about British security law and I am not British. But as far as I know, many HongKongers were afraid of the law and millions of people are afraid that their freedom of speech and core values are now corrupted by Chinese central government.

Well done Ronny Tong, for not accepting the drivel the by this biased BBC interviewer.

The worst of all, he kept interrupting when the interviewee just got to the point.

The BBC has lost its credibility. The interviewer comes in with a presumption already based on misinformation. - He's misinformed about the definition on ''One Country, (then) two systems'' which leads to the presumption that the NSL is a breach of the joint declaration (JD); - misinformed about the JD which really is ''only'' a declaration of a basic understanding or outline about the handover in 1997 - so the NSL is actually consistent with the JD; - misinformed about the amount of NSL support by the HK people. Previously, the real citizens of HK were actually oppressed and silenced as there was a real threat on their physical safety (many criminal cases have occurred when publicly voicing an opinion against the wishes of the pro democracy camp). To many HK citizens, the NSL is actually seen as granting more freedoms as it liberates them from the destruction, mutiny, terrorists acts and foreign meddling that seeks to silence the true voice of HK.
