Hong Kong Watch’s civic and political education series

The race for the next Prime Minister: An event for Hong Kong BNOs to explore the contenders

下任首相候選人卓慧思（Liz Truss）和辛偉誠（Rishi Sunak）對中英關係有著截然不同的看法，至於誰是首相約翰遜的接班人，其對中英關係的取態已成為勝出的關鍵要素。

保守黨成員將於9 月投票選出新黨魁和英國下一任首相，因此香港監察特別為居英的 BNO 社群籌辦一場研討會，討論這場選舉對中英關係有著甚麼樣意義。

此活動是香港監察公民及政治教育系列的一部分，確保BNO 社群參與英國政治，了解政治發展及其如何會影響他們的生活。

兩位候選人卓慧思和辛偉誠都概述了他會維持BNO簽證計劃。隨著北京不斷打壓香港，進駐唐寧街10號的首相將因應新局勢採取更多行動。究竟誰更適合為香港挺身而出？

研討會將由香港監察行政總裁羅傑斯主持，三位備受尊敬的政治記者參與討論，並設觀眾問答環節。

The issue of the UK’s relationship with China and by extension its policy towards Hong Kong has already dominated the race to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister. The candidates Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have distinctively different views on the UK-China relationship.

As Conservative Party members vote for their next leader and the next leader of the UK, Hong Kong Watch is bringing together an exciting panel of speakers to discuss the leadership race, what it will mean for UK-China relations, and in particular for the BNO community in the UK.

This event is part of Hong Kong Watch’s civic and political education series, ensuring that BNOs are engaged with UK politics and stay informed about political developments and how this will impact their lives. The event will be followed by time to network and socialise with other attendees.

Both candidates have outlined that they intend to maintain the BNO Visa Scheme, but a change in the occupant of No.10 Downing Street will come with fresh demands for more action against Beijing’s crackdown in Hong Kong. The question is who is more suited to standing up for Hong Kong?

The panel will consist of three highly regarded political journalists, and the discussion will be chaired by Hong Kong Watch’s Chief Executive, Benedict Rogers. There will also be an audience Q&A.

Speakers:

Juliet Samuel (Columnist, The Telegraph)
Tim Montgomerie (Co-founder of the Centre for Social Justice and creator of the ConservativeHome website)
Freddie Hayward (Political reporter, New Statesman)
