@fairplay381 how about ruling hk by hkness rather than always asking for a foreign ruler?

@daveduvw don't exaggerate now! The Danes and Finns have excellent governments, but that's no reason to do that!

@Laganini76 diplomacy is diplomacy, not everything has to solved through bloodshed. The handover is still sad though

@laichunkiu Very highly unlikely cos David Cameron said Britain need China for trade and economics and he wanted good relationship between Britain and China to continue and that mean no actions over Hong Kong.

British government are coward leaving Hong Kong to die! China will keep Hong Kong for very long time because Chinese considers Hong Kong as true long time Chinese sovereignty over HK not Britain's.

Chinese sees this as liberation of Hong Kong from imperialist thieving British yoke!

@Laganini76: It's because they care about the people that they wouldn't go smashing up the city before handing the colony over.

The Britons are either crazy or real cowards(btw i have nothing against the Britons)..........they handed over one of the most modern cities(a city they built) to the communists without firing a single bullet. The policy of "scorched earth" could have been a good answer to the regime in Beijing...........now it´s too late for that
