The process by which British imperialism exited Hong Kong, its last major colony, came again into focus following the recent death of former British leader Margaret Thatcher<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dave Hundorf, chinaworker.info<\/p>\n

Thatcher, revered as a heroine by capitalist ideologues, and recently hailed as an \u201coutstanding\u201d leader by Chinese state-run media, appeared a rather helpless and out-of-touch figure in her dealings with the Chinese dictatorship in the 1980s, which paved the way for the 1997 handover. The Global Times in an editorial claimed Thatcher\u00a0 \u201cmade her biggest compromise as prime minister in this issue\u201d \u2013 referring to Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

This is not historically correct as Thatcher, confounding her \u2018iron lady\u2019 image, in fact made several big u-turns when faced with determined resistance from organized labour. This was the case in the city of Liverpool, where the labour movement was led by the Trotskyist Militant group (part of the CWI to which Socialist Action is allied) and where mass struggle including the threat of a general strike forced Thatcher to retreat and increase funding for public housing and local services.<\/p>\n

In Britain\u2019s dealings with Deng Xiaoping and the CCP dictatorship, Thatcher\u2019s \u2018compromise\u2019 meant being forced to accept what her top officials told her from the very start \u2013 to abandon unrealistic ideas about perpetuating British colonial rule after the 1997 cut-off point. These officials, including Hong Kong\u2019s then governor who had taken soundings from Beijing, told her in no uncertain terms that Beijing\u2019s position of reclaiming Hong Kong was \u2018non negotiable\u2019.<\/p>\n

Pumped up by her victory over Argentina in the Falklands War, Thatcher went to Beijing to meet Deng in September 1982. In his biography of Deng, Ezra Vogel notes that, \u201cThatcher later described the session as abrasive, but British officials who attended the session testify that Thatcher\u2019s reports of a confrontation with Deng were greatly exaggerated and that a sense of confrontation derived only from her press presentations after the meeting and the Chinese reaction.\u201d [Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China<\/em>]<\/p>\n

The \u201cconfrontation with Deng\u201d, according to Vogel\u2019s sources, was therefore mostly a media ploy to cover the British government\u2019s submission.<\/p>\n

Within a week of Thatcher\u2019s Beijing visit the Hong Kong stock market (Hang Seng index) had fallen 25 percent, and within a month it had slumped by half. The economic uncertainty of this period saw the Hong Kong currency collapse, which led to the desperate 1983 decision to peg it to the US dollar. So much for the \u2018smooth\u2019 transition!<\/p>\n

Clearly, Britain as a fading imperialist power was unable, regardless of the wishes of Thatcher or any other leader, to stand up to the Chinese state once its leaders had decided on reclaiming Hong Kong. This itself marked a shift of emphasis for the Chinese regime: Mao Zedong had long been content to defer the issue of Hong Kong\u2019s status to \u201cfuture generations\u201d. But as Beijing set about dismantling state industries, free schooling and healthcare, low cost housing etc. and therefore could no longer misuse the name of \u2018socialism\u2019 to justify its rule, its need of nationalistic rhetoric and the vision of restoring China\u2019s greatness increased. Hence the importance of reclaiming Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe British blinked first,\u201d says Christine Loh in her book\u00a0Underground Front \u2013 The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong<\/em>. \u201cAfter all, there was long-term Sino-British relations to consider,\u201d meaning that British capitalism did not want to jeopardise its access to the vast Chinese \u2018market\u2019 which was then opening up for the sake of Hong Kong, which it could not hold at any rate.<\/p>\n

The plight of Hong Kong\u2019s masses, and whether they would face state repression under Chinese rule (as they had on many occasions under the British), was not a real concern for Thatcher. In 1981, one year before negotiations began with China, Thatcher pushed through the racist \u2018British Nationality Act\u2019 which robbed three million Hong Kong people (and millions in other former British colonies) of the right of abode in Britain. Thatcher was at that time making speeches about Britain being \u201cswamped by an alien culture\u201d. Closing the door to a possible mass exodus of Hong Kong Chinese triggered by the handover was a major aim of Thatcher\u2019s tighter immigration laws.<\/p>\n

Rather than an adversarial relationship, Thatcher, Deng, and their respective ruling elites, reached an understanding based on economic interests. Thatcher would go on to describe Deng\u2019s one-country-two-systems maxim as \u201cingenious\u201d. It is not surprising to socialists, who oppose both Thatcherism and Dengism, that Thatcher\u2019s class warfare stratagems are now being taught to CCP officials. According to The Telegraph newspaper:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Shanghai\u2019s China Executive Leadership Academy, one of the country\u2019s most elite Communist Party schools, Thatcher\u2019s philosophy has found its way onto a \u2018crisis management\u2019 course that also focuses on the 2011 UK riots.<\/p>\n

\u201c[\u2026] Professor Li Min, a lecturer at the institution, said when it came to crisis management Britain\u2019s former prime minister was a model of behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Facing an estimated 500 \u2018mass incidents\u2019 every day in China, and spending more on police and internal security than even on defence, it is not hard to understand the CCP\u2019s interest in Thatcher\u2019s repressive policies such as strengthened police forces and the most undemocratic anti-union laws in Europe.<\/p>\n

Today there are still widespread misunderstandings about Britain and Thatcher\u2019s role in Hong Kong. Perhaps the most extreme expression of this is those misinformed youth who wave the British colonial flag at anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong and wrongly see this as a symbol of resistance to the Chinese dictatorship. But this political confusion starts at the top, within the political establishment, not least among leading figures in the pan democratic bloc. Democratic Party chairwoman Emily Lau recently commented that Thatcher \u201cdidn\u2019t look after the well-being of Hong Kong people,\u201d adding that this, \u201cmarked a very, very dishonourable chapter in the history of the British Empire\u201d. One could be forgiven for believing such statements are meant as satire.<\/p>\n

Which chapters of Britain\u2019s military invasions and subjugation does Ms Lau see as \u201chonourable\u201d? As The Telegraph pointed out, Britain has at one time or another invaded \u201call but 22 countries in the world\u201d. The author Richard Gott wrote in the Guardian newspaper, \u201cMany of the present conflicts in the world take place in the former colonial territories that Britain abandoned, exhausted and impoverished\u2026\u201d Gott lists Sri Lanka, Palestine, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Pakistan and India as examples of states where ethnic conflict and instability fostered by British \u2018divide and rule\u2019 tactics continue to this day to exact a deadly toll.<\/p>\n

Margaret Thatcher represented the capitalist system and defended it with particular brutality. That she has won many admirers in the CCP establishment is no surprise to genuine socialists, who understand the need to fight capitalism and dictatorship, in the East and in the West.<\/p>\n
