[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] "Hong Kong Diary" by Patten, the last British Governor of Hong Kong, was published in Taiwan. Former UMC Chairman Cao Xingcheng wrote a preface for this book. He recalled the "return" of Hong Kong to China in 1997. The speech showed the huge gap between the civilizations of China and the UK. Coupled with the 26 years of China's rule over Hong Kong, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is an unbelievable tragedy in the 21st century. I hope this tragedy will never happen on the island of Taiwan. .”

Cao Xingcheng stated on Facebook that at the handover ceremony of Hong Kong, Prince Charles of the United Kingdom (the current King of the United Kingdom) emphasized in his speech that the "responsibility" for governing Hong Kong is coming to an end, using the word "responsibility" to mean that sovereignty lies with the people, and the government is only a public servant.

In contrast, Jiang Zemin directly pointed out that this is a "grand event for the Chinese nation" and "a victory for the cause of world peace and justice." From this, we can see that Jiang focuses on nationalism and regards the recovery of Hong Kong as a victory. The arrogance of power.

Cao Xingcheng said that Chris Patten, who witnessed the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty, emphasized in his speech that "Hong Kong people will govern Hong Kong." Various rights and freedoms will gradually develop into a democratic system suitable for Hong Kong.

However, looking back today, 26 years later, it is not difficult to find that Jiang Zemin was completely blatantly lying. The Chinese Communist Party brutally violated the 50-year-old promise, forcibly promoting the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law and appointing the chief of the police as the chief executive, turning Hong Kong into a city that could be threatened at any time. A backward civilized area under police surveillance.

Cao Xingcheng revealed that he lived in Hong Kong for more than half a year in 2019, witnessed the heroic resistance of the local people in the anti-extradition movement, and also saw the CCP’s various barbaric behaviors, so he decided not to enter the CCP’s jurisdiction from now on, and returned to Taiwan to be a whistleblower warning Taiwan compatriots, you must never have any illusions about the CCP.

Cao Xingcheng said that Jiang Zemin's so-called "Hong Kong compatriots have since become the real masters of the motherland" at the Hong Kong handover ceremony has become a laughing stock now.

Cao Xingcheng then lamented that the highly civilized Pearl of the Orient, bred by the British for 150 years, was annexed by China's authoritarian regime that had not made progress for thousands of years after July 1, 1997. "This is an unbelievable tragedy in the 21st century. I hope this tragedy will never happen on the island of Taiwan.”
