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, about 150,000 people have settled in the UK. “Hong Kong Watch”, a Hong Kong chaos organization established in the UK, has been shamelessly claiming credit, bragging that it was its “successful fight” and heavily publicizing it in fundraising activities in recent months. However, the donations received so far are less than half of the 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 alms to monks after fasting. The government is also trying to be gentle with China and no longer “use its hands” to pump water. .
The British anti-Hong Kong organization “Hong Kong Watch” boasted about its success in obtaining 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 its “money-attracting” publicity, it 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 the government to allow more Hong Kong people to enter the country. This message mainly wanted to show that the “Hong Kong Supervision” had made a lot of efforts and finally succeeded in obtaining BNO for Hong Kong people to live in the UK. Even the “lifeboat” plan for Hong Kong people launched by the Canadian government is counted on its merit list.
In addition, it also arranged for the last Hong Kong Governor Fei Peng, Chairman of the Congressional Cross-Party Hong Kong Group Carmichael, Canadian Senator, etc. to appear on the scene to call on all parties to donate money.
However, after they launched a large round of publicity, the donations did not seem to be enthusiastic. In recent days, they have only raised about 34,000 pounds, less than half of their target of 80,000 pounds. Therefore, they recently asked Fei Peng to speak out again and launched the “Everyone donates 10 pounds.” “Pound Sterling” action, saying that just donating a small amount of money can bring you one step closer.
A friend who lives in the UK talked to me about this situation and said that most Hong Kong people who go to the UK with BNO actually do not have high political enthusiasm and are declining. This can be seen from the fact that the number of Hong Kong people attending political rallies has been rare in recent years. Coupled with the 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 as for the small number of Hong Kong people who are still fanatical about politics and are troubled by life problems, it can be said that they have no time to wait for the government and they do not have the financial resources to support political organizations such as “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 said that the government might have indirectly provided some kind of support in the past, but under the current climate, I believe “secret pumping” will not happen.
Looking at its past and present life, “Hong Kong Watch” can be said to be the product of the hawkish line. It was founded by the British anti-China politician Rogers, who worked in Hong Kong for several years and presented himself as a journalist and human rights activist. Before and after the “Occupy Central” movement in 2014, he worked closely with the perpetrators 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. Afterwards, 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 claimed to be a human rights organization and focused on freedom and human rights issues in Hong Kong.
Rogers, the operator of “Hong Kong Watch”, was warned by the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force for violating the national security law. The National Security Department’s iron fist cut off the water pipes from Hong Kong to the UK, which also weakened his ability to “absorb water”.
During the black violence, Rogers and the “Hong Kong Watch” were looming. After the implementation of the “Hong Kong National Security Law”, they started high-profile activities in the British political arena, joining forces with hawkish politicians to launch fierce attacks and demanding a tough response from the government. The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force issued a warning to Rogers and “Hong Kong Monitor” in March 2022, accusing them of violating Article 29 of the “Hong Kong National Security Law”. The firepower was very fierce. It is also rare to directly attack Western politicians like this.
The reason why “Hong Kong Surveillance” is not attracting enough money this time is not only due to the change in the political trend in the UK, but also due to the iron fist of the National Security Department of the police force cutting off the water pipes from Hong Kong to the UK. I believe that very few people are brave enough to risk going to jail. Give the water pump to foreign Hong Kong chaos organizations.

Many people in the West regard their wishes as reality. The recent chorus has said that China’s economy is not in good shape, and the theory of collapse has become widespread. In fact, they are blindfolded and self-hypnotized. There are still many people in the world who objectively view China’s economic power. A friend from the business community sent me the cover story of the latest issue of Taiwan’s “World” magazine. The title is “The Chinese Era of Electric Motors”. The 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 conquered Thailand and are also gaining momentum in the European market. Even the managers of German automakers are frightened. I checked the latest figures on Hong Kong’s auto market and found that domestically produced cars are also gaining ground, while Japanese cars are all left in the dust.
Chinese electric vehicles have made a strong move into the Thai market and will account for 80% of the market this year. Japanese cars that once held a dominant position have all been wiped out, and the situation is very critical. The picture 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 prestige, 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 ranking 4th, 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. Bit.
In Hong Kong’s July car sales list, BYD ranks firmly 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 automobile industry told me that nearly 80% of car owners who recently bought new cars bought electric cars. BYD is doing well. It has maintained its fourth position in the past five months. However, due to the adjustment of agents, sales have been slightly affected. With agents taking over and new models coming on the market, I believe it will be a hit. 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 ranks fifth.
As for the other two domestic electric vehicle brands ORA and MAXUS, they are also gradually rising. As electric vehicles become mainstream, they have the potential to increase their market share. Friends in the industry say that by then Tesla, European electric vehicles and domestic electric vehicles will stand on top of each other.
Let’s talk about the cover story of “World” magazine that a business friend passed on to me. Its reporter spent a week interviewing in Bangkok and asked many owners who had recently purchased electric vehicles. Most of them were Chinese brands, ranging from the high-priced Great Wall Haval to the mid-priced ones. BYD, to the affordable Xijiang Hezhong product “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 runner-up are also domestically produced vehicles. 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 electric cars. It has become a world dominated by Chinese brands. No wonder Japanese businessmen in Thailand also admit that , the Japanese automobile industry is really facing great challenges.
“Tianxia” reported that in order to further capture the Thai automobile market, major Chinese automobile 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, accounting for 10% of Thailand’s total. One-sixth of current production.
In addition to overtaking Japanese cars in Thailand, Chinese cars are also unstoppable in entering the European market. “World” reporters saw at the Munich Mobile Show (IAA Mobility) last month that 40% of the car manufacturers participating in the auto show were 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 head of China of the German Volkswagen car factory said frankly, “Volkswagen is accelerating towards ‘China speed’.” The “World” reporter said that many Germans discovered that the original students (Chinese automakers) had already become teachers and even strong opponents.
After reading this on-the-spot report, business friends were filled with emotion, saying that more than 10 or 20 years ago, no one would have imagined that Chinese cars could conquer the world, surpass the heyday of Japanese cars, and become the “biggest brother” in car exports. Now that this “impossible dream” has come true, what do those who predicted China’s collapse have to say?
