Now their citizens are sent off to chink prisons without process for merely selling "banned books." I'm sure they rue the day they left the Empire.

Of the 3 involved parties - HK, PRC and UK it was HK which was completely against reunification and also had the least say
PRC demanded handover of HK and UK capitulated like the good cucks they are

Could have kept Kowloon/Hong Kong Island, although presumptively that would have lead to a ton of people trying to leave the new territories.

If they were still part of the Empire they would actually be influenced by the same forces leading now to the UK's decline.

Date: April 24th, 2018 2:34 PM Author: Chest-beating Range Rigor I live here and a lot of people rue the “handover”. Since the arrests of the booksellers, people have been talking about emigration again, and a couple of personal friends are leaving next month with more to come. The British Hong Kong flag is increasingly seen on July 1, the official “handover celebration day”.
I’m white btw and I have a lot of HK friends and love living here, but the days of HK as an important world city are increasingly numbered because Beijing will fuck with this place enough. |

or did London just appoint someone? |
|
Date: April 24th, 2018 2:39 PM Author: Chest-beating Range Rigor London appointed him but the last governor Patten tried to introduce full democracy into the legislature before the handover, for which Beijing called him the 1000 year whore of the Orient or something nobody’s hands are clean on this, but the only thing that matters now is that China made treaty guarantees about HK but they are ignoring them |
|
Date: April 24th, 2018 2:46 PM Author: emerald tattoo so China's treaty with the UK (or the Basic Law or whatever it's called) said HK would be able to elect own chief executive and legislature, but then Beijing modified it so that only a pre-selected pool of candidates are eligible?
i was never too certain what the umbrella revolution was about. |

Shanghai is New York. Hong Kong is London. There is a clear division of labor between them. |

Date: April 24th, 2018 2:47 PM Author: Chest-beating Range Rigor there is a secessionist movement and a couple of political parties but if they ever did anything with it they would all be disqualified from whatever elections so yeah but no and the Chinee Communist Party’s core rationale for its dictatorship is the inalienability of chinese land so they would rather burn the whole city down and kill everyone here rather than contemplate that challenge to their dictatorship |
