This is the real report, based on history and facts without bias and ideologies.
Thats exactly why we need a VPN to access sites outside CCP's control
Bing bang hoo doo
I like this video because it focused on historical facts instead of dumping many biased, baseless viewpoints into viewers’ brain
👍🏻
It’s been so long since I’ve seen unbiased and genuine journalism. We need you now more than ever. Thank you.
the brits sound so innocent in taking a chunk of land from China, by simply "winning several OPIUM wars ".
@A P TRIGGERED lol
A P repeat the comment above again, you’re exactly whom he criticizes
A P hey don’t forget what what was the cause of the opium war. It was because the British and other foreign powers were selling drugs in China and the Chinese Government decided to stop the continued sale of drugs and getting more Chinese citizens from being addicted to these drugs. So the foreign powers started the war saying that it is not fair for the Chinese Government to stop them from selling drugs.
Would you like some foreign powers to come and sell drugs freely in your country?
@A P hey where is your manner, shame on you and your parent's poor education on you
@A P hey China hater and anti China sociopath. HK belongs to China now that's the political reality too. Period. Stop chanting free HK and HK is not China. You are delusional loser.
Keep up to date with the latest news from Hong Kong here: www.cnbc.com/hong-kong/
Thank you for making such an informative video without biases.
Britain were supposed to give Hong Kong citizen British passport in 1997. That changed into BNO which was a slap in the face
Because Brit never treated Hongkongnese as their own citizens. They were only second class.
Luo Teng fully agreed, then why are some idiots still worshipping them😓
Totally agreed. If someone occupied my garden, and do something in there, no matter good or bad, a big apologize is required, then go away, and take responsibility.
we wish Britain can take all the traitors away
Not surprising, there would have been a flood of HKers to the UK.
Very factual video and informative for better understanding of the present situation in hongkong. Congratulations and more power!
Hong Kong's economy is very free. That's true. But that isn't necessarily a good thing. The 10 richest Chinese make up 1.5% of its GDP. The 10 richest people in HK make up 35% of HK's GDP. Sure there's a lot of money in HK, but not in people's hands. The protesters are up against the wrong target.
A prudent move for HK Special Region government is to very rapidly change the minimum wage from the current HKD $ 38 / USD $ 4.8 to HKD $ 52-55 range, get it effective within next 2 years.
This is not only in hong kong or china, but in worldwide, the 90% or money are on 1% of the population....
@Jase Crother go study math again!!! it's the amount of money the richest people have, not the amount of population
@Jase Crother just because others have different opinions and you are accusing them of being commie and brainwashed? And you are screaming freedom of speech? Look at yourself pathetic loser. Free HK? On what basis? What does HK have to be self sustainable? Without mainland China, HK cant even survive for one day! HK has no waste processing, no fresh water, and no protective force. Free HK? You are either delusional or stupid.
Yuan Liu As a math major, Jase’s comment is true. Despite the data is right or wrong, the comparison was unfair.

CNBC never showed any interest in HK’s plight during its 100+ yrs colonisation by Britain who treated HKers as colonial subject w/o any right to democracy.
How did Hong Kong get prosperous
@@honantong simple the above comment already explained it by being a middleman between the western countries into a developing China.
Very misleading statement. MANY documents showed Britian wanted to introduce democratic system to HK 2 times, one is after WWII, another is in the 80s. The ONLY reason that was unsucessful is Chinese intervention. Chinese government claimed they will 'liberate' HK forcefully if Britian give people in HK democracy.
@@timmang7891 ...please submit these links to such documents for me to read I would like to explore further.
Tim Mang What a lie! After WWII, CCP and KMP were a in civil War. How could they possibly intervened Hongkong? Geez, if you guys would like to make up something, at least put some effort
Thanks for the information!
Editing is kind of all over the place.
In past several decades Hong Kong's neighboring city ShenZheng built a major tech industry that can soon rival silicon valley while HongKong has done almost nothing in Science and Technology in that period. Hong Kong needs to do some soul searching.
tubeserenity they could have, but they were too short sighted
As a HKer I think agree the HK gov is short sighted. We have lost our own industry and turned into a tertiary-only economy that rely too much on China. Knowing that China will not put HK in the eye should be a sign that HK should focus more on its own. The HK gov is so corrupted and HKers want to elect a head who will do things for HK. Mainlanders will often persuade HK to merge with Shenzhen which is putting things too simply.
@@bababaghanoush nice hear voice of HK
@@bababaghanoush when i was young hk movies were epic af. Stephen chow etc. Then what happened?! China movies only became better recently. There were like 10 years gap with China and Taiwan. Now i dont watch hk movies at all zzzz.
Douglas Teo that is objectively true, I can agree on that. One major reason is that since more Chinese people can afford tickets, and to build more cinemas, the audience base is huge in China which draws many local producers and technicians from Hong Kong. The only obstacle is that restrictions/ censorship is still a thing, many topics are banned in the mainland. If it becomes more open, I can guarantee you it is possible to have a Chinese Hollywood. It is an understandable production shift. Hong Kong has few stars now even Hong Kongers don’t quite have hope for that. But we still have some great movie crew members. I would say in the greater entertainment business, there will still be some involvement of Hong Kong crew members.
The treaty between Britain and China does not guarantee Hong Kong's status as an haven for criminals. There is no legal justification for objections to extradition agreements. There is even much less legal justification for large scale organized destruction during demonstrations.
That why I always said: British left behind some poison for who want to manage HongKong
I think the concern lied more with the unreliability of the Chinese legal system against the backdrop of a larger trend of erosion of the ‘Two Systems’.
This helped, thanks!
For more than two decades Hong Kong had benefited from the rising of China. Standing alone with just the freedom economic trade without being the gateway to China market, I don't think Hong Kong will be anywhere as prosperous as it is now.
Very good video, and you also put the right map 👍

In an interview with American reporter Edgar Snow, Chairman Mao said: It is the immediate task of China to regain all our lost territories, not merely to defend our sovereignty below the Great Wall. This means that Manchuria must be regained. We do not, however, include Korea, formerly a Chinese colony, but when we have re-established the independence of the lost territories of China, and if the Koreans wish to break away from the chains of Japanese imperialism, we will extend them our enthusiastic help in their struggle for independence. The same thing applies to Formosa. As for Inner Mongolia, which is populated by both Chinese and Mongolians, we will struggle to drive Japan from there and help Inner Mongolia to establish an autonomous state." (p. 110 in Red Star over China, by Edgar Snow).
Formosa, unlike South Korea, was arbitrarily infused with 2 million non-productive armed Chinese gangsters between 1945-50. After killing off most of the native intelligentsia in 1947, their upper echelon not only occupied non-productive government posts, but through their control of media, education, religion, usurped whatever advances that could have been made.
Unlike South Africa, where national anthem, flag, emblem were changed in the Olympic games immediately after the end of White Minority government. Formosa is still under Chinese Colonial Mafia rule.
The 2 million Chinese gangsters US 7th Fleet shipped onto Formosa between 1945-50 have been busy moving their children and assets to Canada, Australia, USA, Britain, Singapore while they continue capital destruction on the island. It is inevitable, as in South Africa, that the native will naturally reassert themselves politically and militarily. The misguided and misinformed US thinktanks' assessment simply cannot withstand the test of time.
p.s. Empirically, both China and USA ruling classes cannot be trusted. India is very smart to be equidistant from both. #1 enemy of PLA is the 80% of Chinese 'low level' population. Japan, Vietnam, Formosa, India are just distractions.

Well said , no bias 👍
HongKong has been promised 50 years economic independence, nothing more or less. HongKong special district was formed under China constitution 31，HK base law was also made and approved by Chinese legislation without British government involved。 under the base law, China can completely take over HK with one nation and one system if foreigners invade, riot without control and other conditions. In fact, one China is the key in the whole relationship, two systems just for transition period.
this groundless, hatred-inspiring bullshxt
I respect your point of view. I disagree some points you mentioned. there is pass between HongKong and Mainland of China, it is to make sure not too many mainland people goes to Hong Kong at one time. you know we have a big population. Chinese government encourage mainland people travel to HK and shopping there which to help HK's economy. The bridge is built which to help HK has more connection with mainland and more convenient to travel to mainland as well. transportation is not one way. Chinese government provides a lot of benefit to HK for free. One country two systems, One country first. Chinese government and Chinese people treat people in HK as a family not colony, because mainland people have a same ancestor with local HK people.
this is a real report without bias to anyone!
Uptin did a good job of explaining the real story !
Maybe you can do, Trojmiasto, Poland. Trojmiasto consists of Gdynia, Sopot and Gdansk. The city, especially Gdynia is going through a grand economic buildup
Nobody cares.
Make A Video On Japan And South Korea Tension it get more tension in trade

Finally some facts from CNBC.
The video wrongly highlight the whole Kowloon as Kowloon Peninsula
Hong Kong's significance to China was that it acted as a gateway to an other-wisely inaccessible country. This was true ever since the Qing dynasty signed it away until the 21th century.
China have since then opened up significantly - diplomats no longer need to discuss backroom deals in HK in fear of looking like traitors, nor do western firms have to use HK as a intermediary to access the Chinese market. HK have lost it's primary use to China and anyone who needs access to it.
Sure HK is flourishing, but that has more to do with China having flourished in the same time and HK merely cashing in. China now wants HK to just be another city that it is, that's what is happening right now.
I suspect that China is trying to prevent a mass exodus of people and capital like in 1997, and is trying to reel in HK in a more gradual fashion. Whether this course of action will achieve its intended result we'll never know.
@Qingyu Bu or maybe earlier
this video's title is wired. whats that mean by relationship?
Fact based report by CNBC. Good work.
What he didn't mention is that how hongkong's resident to get a live when the UK dominated. Is there freedom or democracy in hongkong？ Scotland independent！
Hongkong didn't have democracy when colonized by the UK. It was after the hand-over to China that Hongkong people got the right to vote.
Hong Kong is no longer China’s largest financial hub, it’s ShangHai
Do y'all know that shanghai as a city, hand over over 100 billion us dollar to the central government every year while Hong kong paid nothing. Not mention 1/4 of the power supply for Hong kong is provided from mainland China for free just because it's a special region.
When Britain put head on anything this will happen , they show kindness by giving the land and freedom to their colony by simply make a problem with neighborhood countries and can see this scenario in all the British colony which got freedom from their hand
There is a strange logic in HK.
Mainland China's Intervention in Hong Kong's Economy: One Country, Two Systems is dead
Mainland China does not interfere in Hong Kong's economy: Corrupt government does not care about Hong Kong
Hong Kong's economy goes down - the mainland's governance is incompetent, one country, two systems make Hong Kong fall into the abyss
Hong Kong's in good economy - Hong Kong people administer Hong Kong, Hong Kong's achievements are precisely due to its different system from that of the mainland, and have nothing to do with the mainland.
Wechat, Mobile Payment: Economic Invasion, Destroying One Country, Two Systems
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge-Corruption Project, Wasting the People's money
High-speed rail, which can be accessed at 2013, was delayed due to "democratic" until the end of 2018.Costs have been raised by tens of billions
Then they attacked the "incompetence" of the "pro-Communist" ruling party with the increased cost.
Every time the economic data is bad, the mainland government is blamed for its inaction.
Once the mainland government does something, it immediately undermines democracy and one country, two systems.
Thats why HK is dying
Good job here. When a country does two sides of a coin and its people still don't like the administration, its people is the problem.
Very well said! Totally agree on that.
@Michael Li But the real thing here is you can't stop Chinese government take over step by step. Are you expact on 2047, when One country two system officially ended, then the Chinese government just suddently take over everything? HK will fk up real hard on that time. I am not saying that HK people should not go for freedom or anything, my point is they need a process to end the One country two system. Plus, there is no evidence to prove Chinese government appoint any leaders, and of course the leader who elected needs to passed by the Chinese government because there is no countries wants to elected a leader that make their homeland divided into two parts, and CCP wants to make sure of it. Think about it, if the CCP intervent HK, do you think CCP will allow laws to be recalled?

I have to say this video is very objective, I love NBC and CNBC
Watch a few time and you will find the subjective view there.
Objective?! CNBC tried to portray HK is an independent country or entity separate from mainland China and you call it objective? Unbelievable!!!
As far as I understand from this video, Hong kong is already an autonomous region like the others in China having the political rights to legislate his own constitution, no hard feelings...
no part of china has its own constitution
You have blood of aboriginals on your maple leaf
@@AishThaks1I can't see any relevance of your remarks with the video but In the wild past, each country of today's modern world might have suffered from such incidences.
For example, the same blood exists in the union jack of the Australian flag 🇦🇺.
As I noted as "wild past" above, Aboriginals played provocative roles in such incidences too such as the Indian tribes setting the settlers towns on fire in USA.
@@onderozenc4470 this doesn’t change the fact that Canada is a typical Genocide State. I understand wild past was brutal but y’all have those concentration schools for aboriginals still running in the late 90s, of which mass graves are now getting discovered, how do you justify that?
@@AishThaks1 In Canadian cultural system, there is one province which is officially catholics which is Quebec. In Quebec nothing like the Residential School scam in B.C had ever happened. I think that this incidence was because of cultural strains since no one exactly knows the real motives behind, maybe the a protestant organization like Ku Klux Klan. Please mind your genocide history...

China's relationship to Hong Kong? It's complicated.
potatomato :p
No, it is not.
The British took Hong Kong from China around 1839-1840AD after defeating China in the Opium War
with her 8 Allies, plus cleaning up the whole treasury of silver and treasures from the Imperial palace as War compensation.
And The British and her Allies force China to give them 99 years lease.
Prior to Opium War, China was no.1 in the world.
Hong Kong was return to China in 1997,
With one country and two systems.
Don't forget that Dengxiaoping said there would be no need to change after 2047, everybody understands what that means , that means the whole country will be no big difference from hk, It can be explained in two ways, but ,,,think about it, hk do play a big role in the future
But the truth is that... its false. Hong kong works very differently, and deng saw china "westernising" exactly the same way as hong kong. But since 2008, china wants to follow its own path and therefore is in many ways incompatible with hong kong. Hence why they are being forceful in changing hong kong to their image.

Funny you should bring that up, New York was originally founded as New Amsterdam by the dutch republic, when the british took over they kept many of the dutch laws in place, as well as allowing trade with the Netherlands to continue.
When New York became part of the USA some of those laws became american laws.
Who knows, maybe by 2047 some of Hong Kong's laws will become Chinese laws.. though I doubt it.

Just want to speak to some Hongkongers which want Hong Kong independent:
Don't need to seek for other excuses. Say it if you want it. Let's prepare the blood and lives.
Or just like Trump says "if you don't like our country, just leave. You can go back to UK."
Hong Kong is just a dwarf on the shoulder of a giant.
holoycow need permission just to make a website :O
I think every move is being monitored in the guised of "there own protection". In my opinion it is an invasion of privacy.
its chilling to think in retrospect how human beings has been fighting since time memorial for freedom. as if we are all bounded up like an animal with no food and no pleasure. after finding freedom, we continue to fight the authority that we elect to governs our lives for security measures still, in the name of freedom. a structural issue that will never be solved, or is the freedom we perceive, an delusion afterall?
personally, i think we just need to fight afterall. long gone are the days where we fight an animal to survive and bring back dinner. we channel our aggression through delusion we created to properly justify the violence we all desperately seek deep inside us.
Sour felling will grow if you were the star player in the team, but soon, other players starts to play better you and replace your place. That’s why Hongkong is angry. Envy of others success but do not want to change its way of training.
UK is the one to blame
6:33 I know this has nothing to do with anything but did y'all see that?
Get out of that train there was a big fight there
Lots of Chinese used to support Chinese government and blame Hongkong riots. The ironic thing is that just today, the ccp officially announced that Hongkong citizens, after the anti-government demonstration, can enjoy more SUPER privileges in mainland including purchasing mainlands real estates without any regulations , which is impossible for all other mainland citizen. This makes many Chinese citizen extremely angry now and begin to curse the government.
Please give your sincere kindness to the news here. Please help the poor countries more, and what's the reason for interfering with the rising countries? Morality?
For 150 years every HK British governor was appointed by the UK government and not elected by the HK people / now that HK is back under China rule the UK government is supporting democracy in HK why is that ?
I totally agree with you. People just don't remember or want to remember. Democracy is great to an extent. Look at the US now and their president even with democracy. No political system is 100% perfect and not fool proof either.
01:33 The passport of Uzbekistan. It means we really need visa to go to Hong Kong
I do need to point out that the wealth of Hong Kong was
1. Hong Kong improvement at the 1980s was because of the China open door for trading, and HK was the stepping stone for the western country., not because of British. ( anyone can compare what was happen in last 100's years of British colonial., the freedom and human right., we had the British passport but can not live in British, Hong Kong governor was assigned by the Queen, not elected.)
2. British had left behind a group of opposition, they opposed anything that the new government suggested, it is not good for the peoples, they are also leading the protest... that wrong.
Hong Kong is no longer British colonial, please also keep in mind that for the last 100s year, China continues to support Hong Kong ... because of Hong Kong and China is one family., without China, will western news at Hong Kong as it is?
Well said.
It’s misleading to say Hong Kong has less and less financial significance to China by just quoting the GDP. Hong Kong is the middle ground for China to do international trade and raise capital, its so important for the outflow and inflow of capital for China and the world. The situation will never be changed until the day that China open up their economy and liberate itself.

dude, the guy is talking about problems in a highly developed emerging country, China.
India is just another low income economy with a lot of rhetoric and bragging doing on. Its not a role model for any society and mostly irrelevant when it comes to day to day affairs for outsiders
China may think of HK in whatever way but the fact is million of Hong Kong wants to live freely enough and not under china control & rules. I understand them. Being in a society where military is in control of political power has set Thai people into quiet than normal mode and fear of being rounded up by military in power. Government must be about giving protection to people and not the cause of fear itself.
not true at all, most of hong kongers want a unified china, like me.
You thought you understood them but you obviously not. I guess you have never been to China. If ppl had fear living in China, they probably would have leave China in many ways. Stop comparing Thailand to China. It’s not military government in China.

It is interesting to learn that while some ppl may complain that the China highspeed railway terminal intrudes HK's jurisdiction (which is technically true), most ppl are silent (or ignorant rather) on the fact that Hong Kong has been exercising HK jurisdiction over mainland China at Shenzhen Bay (which is technically speaking Mainland territory).
stop missing information please. Why do you guys intentionally miss out the part where a murder happened in Taiwan as the cause of the extradition bill.
What is the relationship between Scotland and Britain?
Mutual consent on a union , not a communist country forcing and subjugating a democratic island into its system

What will happen after 2047? Is Hong Kong will be fully control by Chinese Government or revolution? 🤔
Treaty will expire so I guess China will have full control of HK by that year
It depends on Hongkong itself. Policies for Hong Kong is like an extra salary, and employee should prove he is worth with it, otherwise other good employees like Shanghai or Shenzhen will take more salary.

@@nazmunnahar1163 what is there to debate when the facts are presented?
Nope. The Sino-British Joint Declaration was just for arrangements of Hong Kong handover in 1997. After the handover Britain has no right to Hong Kong anymore. And it is no excuse for Britain to interfere HK affairs. 50 years is a guarantee written in the Basic Law of Hong Kong, which is the constitution law for HK. China has no intention to break it, not because of Sino-British Joint Declaration, but for the Basic Law.
Not 1840 anymore.
The report added a tricky figure and chart: at 1993 Hong Kong’s share of China’s economy was 27% and at 2018 was 2.7%. You should consider these years China’s economy development chart and figures.
what happens in 2047 ?
