The English language hosts many proverbs, often graphic. Whereas one cautions that “those who live in glass houses should not throw stones”, another deprecates “the pot calling the kettle black”. Anyone reading the European Union’s 2020 Hong Kong report, released on March 11, which blasts the city’s National Security Law (NSL), and hearing the associated ramblings of its foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, about its electoral reform proposals, will be reminded of both. They are hypocrisy incarnate, which should surprise nobody, given the EU’s democratic deficit and its contempt for the will of its own people.
