Does this still hold true still, do you guys want to be ruled by the britbongs?
Chase Lewis
I think they would have liked to have had the same deal that Aussie/Canada/NZ got rather than being handed back to China.
Luis Torres
Y E S E S Atleast they didn't fuck over everything unlike the current appointed leaders and the PRC. Beijing is like a dumb nigger who pushes shitty policies then calls everyone who complains glow in the dark or race traitors.
Brandon Hall
Then why the fuck did you guys give it back to them?
Blake Wright
bongs largely ignored them and let them get on with it iirc
beijing can't resist interfering with everything
should have told deng to stick it and reminded him that chinks have never won a war against anyone but themselves
Nathaniel Kelly
Because China threatened to just take it/blockade it/seize the New Territories unless we let them have a seat at the table to decide Hong Kong's future.
Might I remind you that this was supported by the US with the post WW2 doctrine of decolonizing UK Overseas Territories.
Evan Long
It was technically on a like 150 year lease from China, the chinese would have had causa belli
Isaiah Wood
new territories were on lease
the island itself wasn't

> rent room for a few months > lease ends > pimp landlord tells me gtfo > leave behind ikea furniture and xbox > pimp landlord doesn’t give a fuck about that > cockroaches cry every night when they think he’s asleep
were we supposed to be discussing something itt?
Easton Parker
They don't know Poland owns Britain. Much has changed since 1997.
Gavin Russell
Wrong. Only the new territories were on loan. Hong Kong proper was to be British in perpetuity. Our governing class lost almost all of its spines after Suez. (Thanks America)
Ryan Stewart
Wrong.
Ayden Ross
at least read wikipedia sometime you dumb hobbit

> oz/nz/canada being at least 90% of their own white people > hk being at least 90% of china’s yellow people > hk offered same deal
u wot m8
Jose Martin
False, It's because the Clintons (back then, 1992-1997, as now) were beholden to foreign interests and the UK is too weak to stand alone. Example being Bill Clinton selling military secrets to China while president (China gate).
Caleb Ortiz
>Hong Kongers >the same as Chinese U wot m8?
Owen Stewart
butthurt hongkie detected
only diff between you lot and the people in shenzhen or even rest of china is that you guys have more money and manners.
Jason Cooper
Shoo shoo commiefag.
Julian Parker
being right is better than being white and damn it feels good to be right
> unironically posting that cuck photo
hows that supermarket job in leicester square treating you, now even the polish workers there can speak canto lmao
Jason Green
No, you are.
Wyatt James
Show your PRC flag faggot. Hong Kong obviously has a different culture than the rest of china. By your logic, every white should be owned by the USA and every jap, korean, charlie plus other gooks should be owned by chi na.
Caleb Morgan
You do realize that all PRC faggots actually do believe that all Chinks belong to them
Lucas Jenkins
Should've been handed back to the ROC instead.
Jacob Cook
No shit, goes to show how ridiculous their thinking is.
Ian Hughes
We are talking a bunch of Communist faggots who think their army was WWII victors and held a fucking parade over that
Zachary Robinson
>tmw You'll never get to play oversea's empire the game irl again in this world most likely.
Jace Adams
hahaha you ask that as if they had a say in the matter. This isn't a third world Latin American country we're talking about, it's China.
Carter Myers
They don't want to be ruled by Britain, they want to escape China.
Parker Foster
But you do get a front seat in the European race wars. :3
