They didn't choose. They had no choice.

Hong Kong is rightful Chinese clay. They will submit by choice or force, one or the other. The Dalai Lama has been in exhile nearly his entire life because China decided Tibet belonged to them.

If people in Britain hate wogs so much why did they choose to have an empire

They didn't. A treaty in 1899 signed between the British Empire and the then-Chinese Monarchy ensured it would return 100 years later or so.

the 100 year contract expired
why didn't you know this?

Britain leased the island for 99 years. The lease ran out, and the british didn't renew it, and it was unlikely hong kong would have allowed it to be renewed at the time. What they didn't think of is how china would react to direct control of a isolated pocket of money and corruption laundry that they've only been able to play with by proxy for nearly 100 years.

Honk Kong belong to China
Tie Land however...

Hong Kong is part of China. Fuck off with your archaic, colonial mentality which belongs in the 1800s.

>When you hear "*KNOCK KNOCK* FBI OPEN UP". What chemicals are those?

Which China?

You still have a colonial mentality too, just that of colonizee rather than colonizer.

HK island was permanently ceded to Britain after the 1st Opium War but Britain only leased the New Territory on the mainland for 99 years. Population expansion meant when the New Territories went back to Chinese rule then HK could not support their own population. Britain was in no position to fight another war over it so they signed HK over to China with the flimsy Chinese promise to respect HK as an autonomous region.

This was part of their braindead decolonization sceme, see also Rhodesia.

They didnt. It was a lease. Aka they were just renting with an option to buy but the zillionaires in hong kong didnt do the paperwork needed and the deal fell through. Thus ownership reverted back to China.

Pretty fair considering the capital in Hong Kong's banking system. Could have bought the property together but they chose to panic and run away.

Actually they did have a choice. Collectively they could have bought the property in their own collective self interests but they chickened out.

Bullshit. All those lease arrangements ALL OF THEM. They all have a buy-in clause, not a single lease contract doesnt have one. Like a car lease, "rent" is paid on the property and there is a buy out clause. Hence leasing or rent-to-own.

Its their own damn fault for not organising their business to keep themselves in business. Just an fyi.

That agreement will last 50 years. Then Hong Kong becomes fully Chinese.

>implying that Mao would’ve honoured the outcome.
Are you intentionally ignoring just how evil the commie chink was ?

do hong kong people want to be british?

Gorilla glue

They didn't choose to leave. The UK only had Hong Kong for a 100 year lease.

can you cite some examples of things he did that would lead you to believe he would reneg on international agreements?
