It has been the same level of officials in the United Kingdom since 2018.However, some scholars believe that British foreign policies have always followed the United States. At present, the United States has comprehensively suppressed China, and Sino -British and Hong Kong -British relations may be difficult to improve.
Johnson has uploaded three photos on social networking sites on Monday, showing that he "punch card" outside the British Consulate General in Hong Kong, met with Hong Kong Financial Affairs and the Director of the Treasury Bureau Xu Zhengyu, as well as the co -jointly with Hong Kong and the chairman of the group Li Zezheng and the group chairman Li Zezheng and the group chairman of the group.Huo Jianning, Managing Director, met.He described the meeting with Xu Zhengyu, and revealed that he had discussed further investment with Li Zezheng and Huo Jianning.
Johnson said that the task of this trip is to promote Britain's advantages in investment and trade. It describes Hong Kong as the leading international financial center. The United Kingdom and Hong Kong have common interests, and I hope that the two sides will strengthen friendship.
But Johnson's visit to Hong Kong this time has also aroused a number of British politicians who have a strong attitude towards China.Iain Duncan Smith (Hong Kong translation) described Johnson's visit to Hong Kong as "hoe", which was shocked to Hong Kong, emphasizing that China has regarded China and Britain as garbage and humiliated Britain"Why do you want to bow to this kind of regime waiting for us?"
Luke de Pulford, member of the Conservative Party Human Rights Committee, described the British government to "slap a slap" to the British government, so she may be sold and mentionedBy the time, Johnson reiterated that the British government's position against Hong Kong may be arrested by the Hong Kong government with the Hong Kong State Security Law.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao met a reporter before attending the Executive Meeting on Tuesday. When asked about Johnson's visit to Hong Kong, he responded that any state officials were welcome to visit Hong Kong to promote economic development, business exchanges, and communication between people.
Li Jiachao emphasized that Hong Kong has always been an open society, attaching importance to regional and international cooperation. This is the element that Hong Kong values as international cities and depends on success.He said that some countries have made some measures for political reasons to meet their own political interests, but government officials from different countries come to Hong Kong for business exchanges between business and enhance communication between people.Promote good policies and let the economy and people develop in the front direction.
Recently, the British government seems to have signs of softening in China.British Consul General, Brain Davidson (Hong Kong Translation Dai Wei Shen), was interviewed by Hong Kong media last week.Director Lu Chongmao and the director of the Education Bureau Cai Ruolian will visit the UK later this year.
However, Liu Zhaojia, a consultant to the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association, believes that it is impossible to see that Hong Kong -British relations will not see signs of improvement in the short term.He pointed out that the quality of Hong Kong and British relations depends on Sino -British relations.The British policy has long followed the United States for the United States. "At present, the United States has comprehensively suppressed China in strategic strategy, and the game between the two countries has intensified. In this case, it is difficult for Britain to maintain friendly relations with China politically, let alone Hong Kong and British relations."
Liu Zhaojia expected that in order to their own interests, Britain will maintain close economic and trade relations with Hong Kong in the future, but it will continue to criticize issues such as the National Security Law and Human Rights in politics.The Hong Kong Government will also cooperate with Britain in terms of economic and trade, and will fight back strongly in politics.
