We seek your support in our appeal to Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; Her Majesty Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms and the Head of the Commonwealth of Nations; Her Excellency The Right Honorable Patricia Scotland, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth of Nations.

The United Kingdom had played a big role in Hong Kong's transformation from a minor seaport village with convenient location into a sustainable and comprehensively developed region. The handover to China in 1997 proved to be fatal to Hong Kong's economics and democratic polity. The government of China is seeking to destroy all achievements we gained by incredible efforts together with the United Kingdom. Step by step, with each new decree of Beijing, Hong Kong is losing its rights and freedoms, as well as its advantages of an international financial center and a free-trade zone which will cease to exist in 2047.

In fact, the world financial market is actually heading with us towards a new global collapse. It happens because the headquarters and divisions of many large banking companies of Great Britain and the rest of the world like HSBC, Barclays plc, Rothschild & Co, Schroders plc and many other are located right here, in Central District of Hong Kong.

In this regard we seek the support of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth of Nations in enduing Hong Kong with independence by concluding the compact of free association with the United Kingdom and returning membership to the region in the Commonwealth of Nations.
