Azeem Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Think it's been discussed here before but about time it gets its own thread.
Harry Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Lately I've been wondering whether I'd rather be governed by the Chinese communist party or the Congress and presidency of the USA.

Fortunately the people of Hong Kong aren’t asking for that choice though. Seems they want to retain their sovereignty for as long as legally possible under that treaty. And China wants to exert more power over Hong Kong than they should. This is probably an issue where the UK should be involved, seeing as we’re on of the parties to that treaty. But there’s more pressing domestic issues, we’re not really in any position to stand up to a super power. Particularly one that the UK is going to be increasingly reliant on in years to come. I suspect it won’t be long before Hong Kong is fully absorbed into China.
