So. modern history not your strong point , amongst other things then.
The Brits tried, tried and tried again. However Deng Xiaping said " f**k off and don't look back " and even if we had done everything YOU wanted, China would have changed it back on day one.
What in fact happened was compromise ( of sorts ) that would provide stability going forward. This safeguarded important factors of the HK economy like the HKeX.
For you Redwriter nothing short of it becoming a Right Wing US Republican stronghold would suffice. You truly are an advert for eunuchs.
