Yes. They gave the Pearl of the Orient to the slimy commie Chinese pigs.

What was the alternative? Break a legal contract and go against the largest army in the world?
Ethan Diaz
China has already been breaking their agreements about staying out of local HK politics.
Josiah Stewart
No. As long as we still stand the British Empire stands
Jaxson Sullivan
No you killed it in the 50s, but it was already done for after you cut off its arms and legs in the 40s.

Arguably, the Fall of Singapore marks the line when you say the Empire started to die. The US (bless her) Jewed the Brits in WWII through pound of flesh Lend Lease, so much so, the Brits end up with no money to administer her colonies after WWII. God bless America. Long live America. Long live Trump (2 terms please).

the contract is signed by the qing government
and kowloon&hk island was ceded
there's no 'handover' date
hk was removed from the UN's list of colonies so we were stripped of our right to decide our own future

You couldn't really only return the new territories. there wasa tug of war and China won it.
Isaiah Diaz
agreed
just trying to say the contract doesn't mean shit
Leo Gray
The British Empire died when India was granted independence by the traitors in the Labour government. Even if Germany lost they got their wish to reduce the Anglo people to a shell of their former selves.
Ethan Young
No handover for the new territories, correct, but HK Island and Kowloon weren't governable by themselves.
You're right about the CCP revoking your status at the UN . They also sent threatening communications to Britain if they took steps towards giving you autonomy. Anytimes.com

Recognise the RoC as the legitimate successor to the Qing Empire and give Hong Kong to Taiwan for maximum butthurt.

Except you guys legally owned Hong Kong, you just needed to give back the New Territories, which there was almost no development in at the time.
Carter Walker
>no development in new territories in 1997
or how about give back the whole hong kong to hong kongers?
