Lord Patten: Were promises to Hong Kong broken?
Sarah Montague speaks to Lord Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, 25 years after the UK handed the territory back to China.
When the UK handed Hong Kong back to China 25 years ago, the last words of the departing British Governor to the people of the territory were: “Now Hong Kong people are to run Hong Kong.
