Chris Patten interview: myth buster

I interviewed Chris Patten on China and the Olympics, a couple of months ago in Oxford. For those of you who accidentally superglued a blindfold and earmuffs on your face as a child, Chris Patten was governor of Hong Kong until the handover in 1997. His book ‘East and West’ is well worth a read.

After the jump is a Chinese translation. Keep reading 6 for more like this.

Kind thanks to my friend Wang Yao for the following translation.

Chris Patten also tells me about his first sight of China, here.

And here are links to the other interviews I filmed in Oxford:
