Hong Kong actor apologises on Chinese social media for praising British queen​

A veteran Hong Kong opera star apologised and declared his patriotism on Thursday after his praise for Britain’s late Queen Elizabeth II sparked a backlash among nationalists in China.

Thousands of Hong Kong residents have queued up outside the city’s British consulate this week to sign a condolence book for the late monarch who died after 70 years on the throne.

Among the mourners was Law Kar-ying, a heavyweight of the Cantonese opera scene, who published a selfie on Instagram from the queue and a message that read: “Hong Kong was a blessed land during her reign.”

Instagram is banned in mainland China but Law’s post went viral on other social media sites, sparking anger and criticism among nationalists.

On Thursday, Law took to China’s Twitter-like platform Weibo to post a video apologising for “making remarks of mourning without thinking them through”.

“My original intention was to express condolences for a late elderly woman and I would like to appeal to everyone not to overly interpret what I said,” the 75-year-old said in Mandarin Chinese.

“I can’t possibly forget my origin and ancestry. That I have been keeping a Chinese passport says it all, I am Chinese and I love my motherland forever. I am sorry,” he added.

His original Instagram post was deleted.

Nationalism has surged under President Xi Jinping, China’s most assertive and authoritarian leader in a generation.

Celebrities and businesses can find themselves facing huge consumer backlashes for any perceived slight to China or suggestion of disloyalty.

Many of the commenters underneath Law’s Weibo video were not convinced by his apology.

Some told him to “learn from his wife” Liza Wang, a veteran actress who was a Hong Kong delegate to China’s top political advisory body for two decades.

Some of them do, but now most have been kicked out. How many Indians want British masters to come back to rule them again for another 3 centuries ? can you kick them out?

Oh yeah, you lackeys Indians love your white British masters as no others even after 70 years. Your Prime Minister representing the government of India indeed has openly praised the British colonization of India, saying that it was overall beneficial for India, and you indians seem to largely agree with him since there are no protests or oppositions to his statements. No shame and how slavish of you indians ?

• Report comes from an expert described by critics as 'Xi's propagandist'
• Independent virologists slammed comments as 'wild speculation' lacking a basis

The author of The Lancet's Covid-19 Commission report, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, has previously been nicknamed 'Xi's propagandist' over his pro-Beijing comments.

'This may be one of the Lancet’s most shameful moments regarding its role as a steward and leader in communicating crucial findings about science and medicine,' she said.

South Asians aren't far behind.

There is 7 decades of anti-British education / popular culture in South Asia

Hong Kong handover occurred in 1997 hence, anti-British sentiments are still in development phase

This is understandable because of the Opium Wars against China.

“Hong Kong was a blessed land during her reign.”

Lol

It's not HK that is falling but is outshined by the mainland cities.

Mainland cities have better management and system compared with the democratic HK.

HK education is also failing.

It looks great on paper, but not in a real-world scenario.

One of the best examples is the stagnant HK movies, or even falling.
