I remember in 1971 as a small child my mother driving just to the border of the Frontier Closed Area, where there was a gate on the road where where you couldn't go in into Sha Tau Kok unless you can show proof of residency or official paperwork allowing you to visit inside. Mind you, I think my mom did visit inside because she had special paperwork that allowed her to visit certain people there at certain times of the year.

Hong Kong's sovereignty wasn't returned to the PRC. PRC didn't sign the Treat of Nanking as they didn't exist, and ceded land is not returnable. Hong Kong's sovereignty was transferred to the PRC.

Integration never works, East Germany does not successfully fully intergrate into West Germany. There are many problems in the country til this day because of that. In Yemen the problem is even more obvious, when North and South Yemen reunite. The Houtis and the the government ended up controlling territory of each side of Yemen respectively. The situation in Hong Kong is also very similar. Honestly it's best to keep these countries divided and develop separately, such attempts merely causes trouble

If this approach had been followed, the United States and the United Kingdom would have already fallen apart.

@NovajaPravda 3 ай бұрын

@@EIDMONA If you look at the UK, the Irish potato famine was a result of the integration attempt that killed millions, you also have the troubles on top of that. There are also all the problem going on in Scotland which led to devolution, which is also a problem that is happening in Wales. Meanwhile the United States experienced the civil war with many casualties. The confederate would have probably abolished slavery on its own after a few decades anyways.

Such a divide used to matter, a line between freedom and authoritarianism. But since the 2020 National Security Law, Hong Kong is just another Chinese city, and this line has become meaningless.
