China 'catastrophically broke its word' about Hong Kong, says Lord Patten

Surrounded by a huge security presence, Xi Jinping used the occasion to claim the former colony has 'risen from the ashes'.


But the UK government says there has been a steady erosion of political and civil rights since Beijing tightened its control of the territory in 2019, with a brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protests.
