Over two years ago, the British government introduced the BNO visa scheme, encouraging people from Hong Kong to move to the UK. Around 150,000 individuals have settled in the UK since then. The Hong Kong Watch organization, based in the UK, has been claiming credit for this success and using it to promote their fundraising activities. However, they have only raised less than half of their target amount. It seems that Hong Kong people who have immigrated to the UK may have less financial resources and political enthusiasm to support these organizations. Additionally, the British government has recently taken a more conciliatory approach towards China and may not want to support anti-China groups. The founder of Hong Kong Watch, Roger Pound Sterling, has a history of anti-China activities and has even been warned by the Hong Kong Police for violating the national security law. The organization’s ability to fundraise has been weakened due to these factors. Despite the negative perceptions, it is important to recognize China’s economic power objectively. Chinese electric vehicles, for example, have gained significant momentum in markets such as Germany and Thailand. Chinese cars have also outperformed Japanese car brands in the Hong Kong market. This demonstrates China’s growing influence in the global automotive industry.
More than two years ago, the British government launched the BNO visa scheme to live in the UK, triggering a wave of departures from Hong Kong. So far, around 150,000 people have settled in the UK. “Hong Kong Watch”, a Hong Kong riot organization founded in the UK, has been shamelessly claiming credit, boasting that it was its “successful fight” and promoting it in fundraising activities in recent months. However, so far it has received less than half of its target. . My friends who immigrated to the UK analyzed with me that maybe the pockets of Hong Kong people who immigrated to the UK have shrunk, their political enthusiasm has also gradually declined, and they have no intention of giving charity to monks after fasting. also trying to be gentle with China and not “use her hands” to pump water anymore. .
The British anti-Hong Kong organization “Hong Kong Watch” boasted of its success in getting BNO visas to “absorb water”, but it raised less than half of its target.
“Hong Kong Watch” launched a fundraising campaign in the middle of last month. In order to increase his “fundraising” publicity, he boasted on social media how they urged the government to implement the BNO visa program so that Hong Kong people can move to the “land of freedom” For example, in 2020 a cross-party parliamentary roundtable event asked for the government to allow more Hong Kong people to enter the country. This message mainly wanted to show that “Hong Kong Supervision” made many efforts and finally succeeded in getting a BNO for the Hong Kong people Kong to live in the UK. Even the “lifeline” scheme for the people of Hong Kong launched by the Canadian government is counted on his merit list.
In addition, he also arranged for the last Hong Kong governor Fei Peng, Chairman of the Hong Kong Congressional Cross-Party Group Carmichael, Canadian Senator, etc. to appear on the scene to call on all parties to donate money.
However, after they launched a big round of publicity, the donations didn’t seem enthusiastic. In recent days, they have only raised around 34,000 pounds, which is less than half of their target of 80,000 pounds. So, they recently asked Fei Peng to speak up again and launch the action “Everyone gives 10 pounds.” “Pound Sterling”, saying that giving a little money can get you one step closer.
A friend who lives in the UK spoke to me about this situation and said that most Hong Kong people who go to the UK with a BNO do not have high political enthusiasm and are declining. Kong people attending political rallies have been rare in recent years. Coupled with high inflation in the UK and the deteriorating economic environment, many people’s wallets have shrunk and they are saving money. Therefore, they will not respond enthusiastically to the “Hong Kong Watch” fundraising.
He said that regarding the small number of Hong Kong people who are still fanatical about politics and troubled by life’s problems, it can be said that they do not have time to wait for the government and do not have the financial resources to support political. organizations like “Hong Kong Watch”.
What is even more worrying is that the British government has recently turned to a conciliatory attitude towards China and naturally does not want to support anti-China organizations to provoke Beijing. Friends have said that the government may have provided some kind of support indirectly in the past, but under the current climate, I believe that “secret pumping” will not happen.
Looking at its past and present life, it can be said that “Hong Kong Watch” is a product of the hawkish line. It was founded by the British anti-China politician Rogers, who worked in Hong Kong for several years and introduced himself as a journalist and human rights activist. Before and after the “Occupy Central” movement in 2014, he worked closely with criminals Joshua Wong and Luo Guancong His role was very unusual, so when he was traveling from Bangkok to Hong Kong in October 2017, he was refused entry at the airport and was deported on the same plane. After that, he colluded with a group of politicians who were hostile to China, including the last Hong Kong Governor Patten and former Foreign Minister Nie Weijing, etc., to establish “Hong Kong Watch”, which he claimed to be is a human rights organization and focus. on issues of freedom and human rights in Hong Kong.
Rogers, the operator of “Hong Kong Watch”, was warned by the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police for violating the national security law. The iron fist of the Department of National Security cut off the water pipes from Hong Kong to the UK, which also weakened its ability to “absorb water”.
During the black violence, Rogers and the “Hong Kong Watch” were on the horizon. After the implementation of the “Hong Kong National Security Law”, they began high-profile activities in the British political arena, joining hawkish politicians to launch fierce attacks and demand a tough response from the government. The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police issued a warning to Rogers and “Hong Kong Monitor” in March 2022, accusing them of violating Article 29 of the “Hong Kong National Security Act”. The firepower was very fierce. It is also rare to directly attack Western politicians in this way.
The reason why “Hong Kong Surveillance” does not attract enough money this time is not only because of the change in the political trend in the UK, but also because of the iron fist of the National Security Department of the police cutting off the water. pipes from Hong Kong to the UK I think that very few people are brave enough to risk going to jail Give the water pump to the chaotic organizations of Hong Kong abroad.

Many people in the West consider their wishes as reality. The recent “chorus” has said that China’s economy is not in good shape, and the collapse theory has become rampant. In fact, they are masked and self-hypnotize. There are still many people in the world who look objectively at China’s economic power. A friend from the business community sent me the cover story of the latest edition of Taiwan magazine “World”. The title is “The Chinese Era of Electric Motors”. a reporter was sent to Thailand to discuss the power of China’s economy. During an on-site interview in Germany, I saw with my own eyes that Chinese electric vehicles have invaded Thailand and are also gaining momentum in the European market. Even managers German automakers are scared. I checked the latest figures on the Hong Kong car market and found that domestically produced cars are also gaining ground, while Japanese cars are all being left in the dust.
Chinese electric vehicles have invaded the Thai market and will account for 80% of the market this year, Japanese cars that were once in a dominant position have all been eliminated, and the situation is very critical. The photo shows the Bangkok Motor Show a few months ago, where Chinese cars dominated the limelight.
Before talking about how China’s electric vehicles have reached the end of their international popularity, let’s first look at the situation in the Hong Kong auto market. According to local new private car registration figures in July, BYD sold 243 units, firmly in 4th place, surpassing all Japanese car brands; another domestic electric car, MG, also experienced strong growth, with a total of 139 units sold, jumping to 6th place. ‘Didn’t.
In the July Hong Kong car sales list, BYD holds a solid position at No. 4, surpassing all Japanese brands. With new models on the market, it will explode before the end of the year.
My friends in the car industry told me that almost 80% of car owners who bought new cars recently bought electric cars WORLD is doing well It has maintained its fourth position in the last five months, however, due to an adjustment its agents, sales have been affected a little. With agents taking over and new models coming on the market, I think it will be a success. Sales of another domestic car, MG, are also strong. Thanks to the aggressive strategy of its agents, it has the opportunity to threaten Toyota, which is in fifth place.
As for the other two domestic electric vehicle brands ORA and MAXUS, they are also rising steadily As electric vehicles become mainstream, they have the potential to increase their market share. Friends in the industry say that Tesla, European electric vehicles and domestic electric vehicles will be standing on top of each other by then.
Let’s talk about the cover story of “World” magazine that was passed on to me by a business friend. His reporter spent a week interviewing in Bangkok and asked many owners who had recently bought electric vehicles. Most of them were Chinese brands, ranging from the high-priced Great Wall Haval to the mid-priced ones WORLD, to the affordable product Xijiang Hezhong “Nezha V”. Judging from the figures, Chinese brands will account for 80% of the market share of electric vehicles in Thailand this year. The sales champion is BYD, and the second and third runners-up are also vehicles produced in domestic. As for Japanese electric vehicles, none of them are in the top 10.
Thailand is a production center for Japanese car manufacturers. Japanese cars account for 90% of the cars manufactured locally, but they are mainly gasoline cars. Most of the cars on the market are electricity. It has become a world dominated by Chinese brands. It’s no wonder that Japanese business in Thailand also admits that the Japanese car industry is really facing big challenges.
“Tianxia” said that, in order to further capture the Thai automobile market, major Chinese car manufacturers such as BYD, Changan, Hezhong, and SAIC have announced investments in building electric vehicle production lines in Thailand, with a total annual output of 300,000 vehicles, accounts for 10% of Thailand’s total One sixth of current production.
In addition to overtaking Japanese cars in Thailand, Chinese cars cannot be stopped from entering the European market. “Byd” reporters at the Munich Mobile Show (IAA Mobility) last month saw that 40% of the car manufacturers that participated in the car show came from China. Even the local media said that “IAA has changed the Chinese auto show.” Looking at the entire automobile market, in the first seven months of this year, the market share of Chinese electric vehicles in the EU rose to 8%, and it is estimated that it will reach 15% in 2025.
Under the competitive pressure of Chinese cars, European car manufacturers have to wake up and respond. The China boss of the German Volkswagen car factory said bluntly, “Volkswagen is accelerating towards ‘China speed’.” The reporter of the “World” said that many Germans discovered that the original students (Chinese automotive manufacturers) have already become teachers and even strong opponents.
After reading this report on the spot, business friends were full of emotion, saying that more than 10 or 20 years ago, no one would have thought that Chinese cars could conquer the world, surpass the heyday of Japanese cars, and becoming “big brother” in car exports. Now that this “impossible dream” has come true, what do those who predicted the fall of China have to say?
