The #HKSAR appears to have sneaked a line from their #HelloHongKong campaign into @JamesCleverly foreword for the >@FCDOGovUK UK six monthly report on #HK. 🤔 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1159103/Six_monthly_report_Hong_Kong_July_to_December_2022.pdf. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/SamGoodman22/status/1661731473765056520#m

Policy is never made in a vacuum & the most senior 🇬🇧 diplomat in #HK doesn’t given an exclusive interview without sign off from @JamesCleverly. In my view poorly timed coming less than 48hrs after #HKSAR announce plans to abolish local elections in HK https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3219296/turning-new-page-britain-wants-reinvigorate-ties-hong-kong-and-have-less-megaphone-diplomacy-says. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/SamGoodman22/status/1654020543094439937#m

Dream realized as control point unites #HongKong-#Shenzhen future.

Holding a yellowed hand-drawn map in his slightly trembling hands, 85-year-old Man Sauping stood at a bus station.

He watched as people got off a bus and walked down an underpass to reach the Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Control Point building, located at the eastern boundary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (#HKSAR) and the southern metropolis of Shenzhen in Guangdong province.
