事实上，就在吴谦向印度传递信息的同时，中国国家主席习近平在香港回归祖国20周年庆典上表示，香港回归标志着英国1842年割占香港所带来的“耻辱和悲伤”的结束。
In fact, as Wu was relaying his message to India, Chinese President Xi Jinping was asserting, at the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to China, that the move had ended the “humiliation and sorrow” inflicted by Britain when it took over the city in 1842.
