UC Berkeley's Harry Kreisler hosts this conversation with Christopher Patten, the last Governor-General of Hong Kong. Series: Conversations with History [4/2000] [Humanities] [Show ID: 4946]
Thanks Britiain for sacrificing such a talented & heavy-weight stateman to Hong Kong. I believe history shall judge him as the Stateman of the Millenium (for HongKong/China)
He left the city when l was 13 or 14, and sooo many guys were moarning for his departure because they knew they were going to miss his two beautiful daughters soooo much~
I'm a big fan of this program, but I do find Kreisler's use of "we" to be distasteful, particularly in the questions at around 43:29. Is it really that easy to say its a matter of "us" and "them." Sure Britain and the US share a lot of history, but that includes wars and strife. Another question would be: what can "we," the Americans and the Chinese, learn from Patten about how to deal with Britain?
He has really a deep insight into Chinese culture and understanding of its ideology. A great politician.
seriously I am writing a research paper about it. He is full of crap
@@wcen60 The only person full of crap is you and only you.
The good old days!!

He was Governor, not Governor-General.
I am loving that intro music. It sounds like the intro for a 90's knights and dragons platforming game.
a wise man, a sensible governor who should have been put in Hong Kong decades before 1992
The best govenor, come back to hong kong!!
the 28th H.K governor, my favorite governor !! 肥彭
His two daughters are beautiful.

A very sensible man. But he apparently has little understanding of what happened during the Asian financial crisis.
