Hongkongers

Yes, it's hard for us to wrap our minds around it because we have freedom of speech and they cannot speak out or they would be imprisoned like Joshua Wong was just, you know, of Hong Kong, pro-free speech, Jimmy Lai.

pro-democracy Hong Kongers.

Joshua Law is a young man, and he was just given 10 years imprisonment while he was in prison.

He was convicted of a new crime while he was in prison and then sentenced to 10 more years.

Joshua is that person that really gave us hope.

He shows many people in Hong Kong that the next generations of Hong Kongers are going to take charge of the future of Hong Kong, and we will fight for the future and to achieve democracy for Hong Kong.

So their partners, international students can work.

We had the Ukrainians and Hong Kongers as well.

And those people can work in any job regardless of skill or salary.

And so that's why we've almost had like a Brexit experiment that didn't actually happen.

Bobby? Well, I'm really worried about the retrospective nature of what they're proposing.

I've got a lot of Hong Kongers who have made their home in my constituency and they understood that the terms of the deal were after five years they'd be able to get set up stations.

They financially planned according to that.

So about getting access to their homes pension funds for example or their sons and daughters perhaps going to universities on home fees basis people have made plans and we're now reneging on a deal and i just don't think that really fits with british values or what we're known for around the world in terms of having a stable rule of law so i definitely don't think any changes should be retrospective it would also make us a bit of an outlier if we go up to 15 years in terms of settlement status across europe that would be unusual And just going back to the so-called Boris wave, a big proportion of that was obviously the deal that we offered to Hong Kongers, which I think has cross-party agreement.

Also the Ukrainian scheme, which I think has cross-party agreement.

And at the time, there was probably no option but to supplement our care workers sector with Boris.

The impact is very real.

I mentioned that some of the research that comes out saying that there's a huge percentage of Hong Kongers, white-collar workers, who are already using AI and finding it helping with their productivity significantly.

And I think AI literacy is now viewed as one of the most important workforce capabilities.

So I think it's going to have a big impact.

And then we allowed for a certain percentage of products to be localized.

So it could be a noodle dish that is very Hong Kongese and has those flavor profiles.

Or it could be session pepper included in your chicken sandwich.

So really adding those nuances of specific flavors and preferences for each market, but still maintaining the quality and the standards for bread specifically in that matter.

Originally, it was the Chinese diaspora.

So Hong Kongers in particular, I mean, the global diaspora, but then later Taiwan, and then eventually China and then the West.

But it's been captive in a certain sense, right? It's been about expropriating what they can from companies willingly investing in the country to take advantage of, you know, whatever it is, 800 million laborers.

And then later in the case of Apple, you know, selling to a country of 1.4 billion people and creating the world's largest retail business within China.
