HSBC has always been said to be very close to the Chinese government. In 2004 during the students demonstration (the “umbrella” revolution) against the new “election law” imposed by Beijing, HSBC gave a statement saying that the student uprising was “counter-productive”. The law provided that only the “patriot” candidates selected by Beijing, would be allowed to compete.
