    He has really a deep insight into Chinese culture and understanding of its ideology. A great politician.

    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 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

    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?

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