@diestem315 I was born in 91 in Hong Kong. To this day, I still hold by my allegiance to her Majesty. I don't expect others to follow my sentiment but as soon as I started my education in the US, I attempted to reach for my roots. The roots I found were my Chinese culture and my British Colonial heritage. I sang on the day when the Union Jack fell at the Exhibition Centre, a sad day. Now, a HK Colonial Flag is hung in my dormitory. God Preserve Queen Elizabeth II!

@Balencian HK attracts lots of pple cuz of their economic benefit of being part of PRC. Many gwai lo nowadays like getting HK SAR citizenship to exploit the benefits of the Wooi Hong Zhing. Singapore and HK economic institutions are almost equal and if HK doesnt hav this advantage over Singapore, there is no point investing in HK, anyone will rather stay in Singapore. Maybe ur point of view is more political. Im not sayin ROC is screwed up, its juz impractical.

Personally, i disagreed Brits' control is single most ideal. HK benefits because of our location and the integrity of ppl drove by western intuition and our traditional confucian values. Brits colonized a lot of places, and only few places like Singapore and HK (with non europeon descended ppl as majority) succeed, there is a reason. ROC is a worthy cause, it was just unlucky to be found at a time when Japan and other powers + commies were ruining China.

As I said before, I know the consequences for both ROC and HK if HK ever joined ROC at a time when PRC still have military/economic recognition.
I disagree with you saying PRC's control are not so bad now, it is getting worse every day. Each year, the police are getting more corrupted, the rich and poor gap widens, political freedom slowly get restricted, not to mention the parliament became a site for drama, and the list just goes on.

@Balencian HK's case shows under Brits control is the single most ideal option. Independence may be difficult. PRC control ain't so bad now,i'm sure HKers will know how to react if PRC tighten their political grip. But joining ROC is suicide and counter productive for HK given PRC's standing in the word in terms of its military and economy.

Well, Singapore done it. =) Of course, we can, but we will have to deal with cruise missiles from PRC and their pregnant women flooding in. But again, there are plenty of allies we can draw from the region: Japan, Taiwan...etc

@Balencian Not sure if HK is ready for independence cuz they hav been under the Brits for way too long. Brit independence handover track record aint too awesome either, although it worked out of fine for Malaysia cuz the Brits were scared it may end up as another Myanmar and Singapore cuz of LKY and gang. I agree being stuck with the Brits for life is the best option. God Save The Queen... XD...

Yep, the big problem is that PRC is a big bully. And not unlike Kim Jong Il, they have missles/nukes pointed at you if they don't get what they want. I understand because of the PRC's threat, most authentic Hkers gave up the option of returning ROC even though most are sympathetic to Sun Yat Sen's cause. To me, I think it is better to die with pride but I know this is not what most Hkers want. To me, Independence and return UK are alright option, just don't want Hk to be under PRC.

@Balencian ...ALSO A HKer... being under PRC is definitely better than being with ROC. Its gonna be fucked up with all the trade restrictions of bring considered part of an unrecognized state and u share a border with China in Shenzhen. Wats next, hundreds of cruise missiles pointing at HK from shenzhen??? Many HKers benefit by the fact that they reap the benefits of the biz freedom they hav in PRC. For independence wise, yes its the best option.
