HK has always been less than keen on control from the North, Beijing or Shanghai
"The mountains are tall and the Emperor is far away"!!!!!!!!!
Grew up in HK, the Cantonese are the most fantastic, kind and caring people - not so sure about the peeps from the north, lots of mainland tourists now, Hongkongers like them less than other tourists as they dont spend enough and argue too much!
Hong Kong has been doing well after the British left (if not better). However, the HK people extremely dislike Chinese rule, and many of them don't even consider themselves to be nationally Chinese.
My parents are from HK and they really respect the British for helping HK become a great city, protecting it form from the savage communist China. Idk how people think of the British today though ... in HK.
A fascinating time capsule, not only of Hong Kong itself, but of the Western POV of the time. The heavy focus on Cold War themes and the rather naive cheerleading for British colonial power look odd to my eyes now, but they're not surprising.
