末代港督同時也質疑白皮書中提出,《中英聯合聲明》中把香港主權移交中國不是「聯合」的看法,「《中英聯合聲明》是中國和英國就保證香港的自由及在法治下多元化50年不變的一個國際協議,所以港人如果認為這個雙方簽署的條約受到質疑甚至破壞,表達關注是完全合理的事情」,他認為香港人有權利提出抗議。公仔箱論壇# B! x; N4 f# Q! g* W5 ^8 q# |1 _" `5 W

“It is surprising that professional bodies . . . appear to have taken the line that they have publicly,” said Lord Patten. “I can only assume that they haven’t had the agreement of their global headquarters for what they have been saying.

Lord Patten also criticised the white paper for suggesting that the Sino-British Joint Declaration that paved the way for the handover of the territory was not “joint”, and he suggested that the people of Hong Kong had every right to protest.5.39.217.76- i V) D0 Q5 D+ O9 O1 d" k

“The Joint Declaration was an international agreement . . . between China and Britain guaranteeing Hong Kong’s freedoms and pluralism under the rule of law for 50 years,” said Mr Patten. “It is wholly reasonable for Hong Kong citizens to express concerns to both signatories if they think the terms of that Joint Declaration are being questioned or undermined.” 3 ~' i( H9 Q, U* s. }+ Q% {: N& K1 k" B9 S

The current British Government has absolute moral obligation to fend that right for Hong Kong people, but instead she chooses to remain silent, succumbing to the enormous economic benefit from China. The massive turnout on 1st July seems to be in vain, the government is as uncompromising as ever. The frustration and helplessness overhanging the city are suffocating but in this crucial moment, we must turn them into resolve. The fight must go on. . B; i!
