2. He gave them all of Europe too. nt

3. Which is idiotic. Hong Kong was returned to China by Great Britain in 1997.

The region was stolen from China by Great Britain in 1842, as part of the peace treaty that ended the opium war, fought by Great Britain to force the Chinese state to allow Great Britain to continue to sell opium in China.

4. Right Voltaire2 it is idiotic nt

5. So that makes it Okay? Tiananmen? China has broken its 50 year promise of relative freedom

The principle is that, upon reunification, despite the practice of socialism in mainland China, both Hong Kong and Macau, which were colonies of the UK and Portugal respectively, can retain their established system under a high degree of autonomy for up to 50 years after reunification. However, what will happen after 2047 (Hong Kong) and 2049 (Macau) has never been publicly stated.

What you wrote makes it seem that you would sacrifice the people of Hong Kong because you want to punish Great Britain.

7. How China governs China is China's business.

I really do not give a flying f*rk what agreement the former colonial powers had when they returned their stolen property.

We have zero credibility with respect to the human rights situation in Hong Kong. Zero.

10. No need to stick our nose it it.

We can take the lead from Europe and Canada.

12. Canada under severe pressure fr China w little help fr USA as Canada honors extradition treaty w US

US wants Huawei executive for trial, but is not supporting Canada much at all as two Canadians languish in rough Chinese jails with no charges under rubric of suspicion of "security violations". At the same time, Canada is suffering trade blockages.

So don't drag Canada into this until you get that part right.

13. Still don't think we should stick our nose into it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. By your logic President Jimmy Carter made a grave error championing Human Rights. . . . nt

[malaise]

6. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

That is the truth that many don't want to hear

[Chainfire]

8. Again, Trump has sent a message to the world

On how we treat our friends worse than our enemies.

[Steelrolled]

9. The US owned Hong Kong?

[11 Bravo]

11. That whooshing sound?

It was the point of the OP sailing right over your head.
