What a brutal reality slap! 🤡“I don't want my kids living under Chinese rule anywhere." 🙄"Your kids can stay where they are. But I think a lot of kids in China are enjoying growing in China right now." "I don't have to step over a homeless person every 5 meters." Even in a 4th-tier city, there's a high quality of life.

Being in Hong Kong- one of the loveliest places on earth - making some television appearances reminds me sharply of the madness of colonialism. Here I am almost as far away from Blighty as it is possible to be, and I’m in Cochrane Street! Round the corner from Queens Rd! I try to muster what conceivable justification there could be for white British people owning a part of China and enjoying their domination of millions of Chinese people for centuries. And until the recent National Security Law still imagining that they could dictate terms to a nuclear superpower nation of 1.4 billion people! The biggest economy in the world being lectured by a state which increasingly resembles the Wreck of the Hesperus. About the running of a part of China obtained by force and held under duress. Imagine if China bombarded us until we let them seize Southend on Sea and run it for their benefit and even when they agreed to give it up seek to dominate it for 50 years meantime. And hoping to spend that time subverting the sovereignty they had reluctantly conceded. We’d describe that as madness, right. Yet that’s what happened in reverse. And all this in the context of an entire century in which we made war on China to FORCE them to allow our OPIUM from our other colony of INDIA to hook the Chinese on Heroin. The Chinese call it the Century of Humiliation. Hard to call it anything else! Such was the sense of racial superiority in the Britain of that time that it must have been literally inconceivable to Mr Cochrane in whose street I sit that the day would come when China under the Communist Party would be the most powerful country on the planet, the most powerful that there has ever been. But today’s Mr Cochrane’s instead of seeking forgiveness and seeking to make amends hoping to be allowed nonetheless to maintain normal relations and maybe a bit of trade and investment CONTINUE to speak of and to China as if she were a Coolie. We DARE to call THEM a threat, an adversary even an enemy! When the Anti-Terrorism Police held me and my wife at Gatwick Airport for 9 hours between us last year they had the gall to grill me about my relationship with China! Terrorism was how the British Empire arrived in China. And how we remained there. How Mr Cochrane presumably prospered there. Got his name on a street there. That a predictable slew of hostile comments will now ensue underneath this article is testament to the fact that many of our people are still in the grip of empire-loyalism, racial superiority fantasies and deep denial. Meanwhile literally the sun just rose again like thunder outta China across the bay. The east is red. George Galloway Workers Party Leader @WorkersPartyGB London
