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. That is the promise. And that is the unshakeable destiny'. Sarah Montague speaks to Lord Patten, the man who made that pledge, to ask if that promise has been broken and if the UK could have done more to honour it?

When Hong Kong’s government tries to silence a song, the world should listen If the court agrees, the companies should reply with «no.» Meta, Google and their peers admittedly find themselves in a tortured position. In Hong Kong, this dispute is itself more evidence that the city is approaching a tipping point that the «one country, two systems» model affording Hong Kong its autonomy from mainland China is atrophying. Two of the remaining bulwarks against autocracy in the nation were judicial independence (which China has disavowed) and a free internet (in contrast to China’s Great Firewall); a victory for the government in this case would mean the diminishment of both. This, in turn, would be a signal to companies who prefer to do business without betraying their values that the city is no longer a friendly hub for foreign investment. #愿荣光归香港 #禁制令 #GloryToHongKong #香港国歌

Hong Kong used to be one of the freest cities in the WORLD. But in recent years, that has all changed. The brutal Chinese government’s goal is to bring Hong Kong under its TOTAL control. We must support Hongkongers and their struggle for freedom. by #EnesKanter twitter @EnesKanter #FreeHongKong #FreedomShoes #光复香港 #NBA #SayNotToChina #StandWithHongKong #波士顿塞尔特人 #BostonCeltics

Panorama has spent the last year with young journalists and protestors as they live through the most turbulent period in Hong Kong's recent history. When the British government transferred sovereignty back to China in 1997, it promised to protect freedom of speech, but new laws have effectively silenced all criticism. Street protests have all but stopped, pro-democracy lawmakers have been replaced by Beijing loyalists and Hong Kong's new chief executive is its former security chief, who led the crackdown. Reporter Danny Vincent has been following those who've lived through the street protest movement, both as activists and reporters, many of whom are now in prison.
