00:54We know that the United Front Works Department, which is a branch of the Chinese Communist
00:59Party, is trying to exert influence in various different ways, through academics, through
01:03businesses. So to see this now being exerted, or possibly exerted, over the Royal Family

01:58have seen this relationship as a way to maybe come back into public life.

03:06if I have the capability to do it. But remember, unfortunately, I'm only one man.
