九月二十七日,英国首相撒切尔夫人在香港发表谈话说:上个世纪英国同中国签订涉及香港地区的三项条约是“有效”的;她认为那些条约不应推翻,而由双方加以“改变”。她说,英国对香港负有“道义责任”。香港爱国学生为此举行示威和发表声明,反对撒切尔夫人坚持十九世纪大英帝国强加於中国的那些不平等条约继续“有效”的言论。 On September 27, the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made a speech in Hong Kong saying: It is “valid” that Britain signed the three treaties concerning China in the last century with respect to Hong Kong. She believes that those treaties should not be overturned, but by the two sides Be “changed”. She said that Britain owes “moral responsibility” to Hong Kong. Hong Kong patriotic students held demonstrations and issued statements in opposition to Thatcher’s insistence on continuing the “effective” statements of unequal treaties imposed by the British Empire in the 19th century.
