The only reason for the British government to consented to the handover was because we weren't white, it was a purely racist premise that made them think they didn't owe any responsibility to protecting the people of Hong Kong, who were born British on British soil.
In less than 25 years after the handover, the high degree of autonomy was taken away from Beijing and turned the HKSAR government into a Chinese colonial dictatorship.
the world is unpredicted sometimes?! We in indonesia after independence since 1945, in 2002 provinve of Timor leste ( ex Portuguese colony ) declare independence from indonesia!

Here after seeing "The Crown"
the worst thing to ever happen was to give up
hong kong without proper democracy taking place
Hong Kong was not under control of communist
@@PaulineYao-dx1cobut it also didn’t have proper democracy.
Hong Kong never had democracy. Hong Kong people don't care.
In other words, Hong Kong should have been given independence instead being given to a communist country.
The British NEVER promised democracy!

Your (Magaret Thatcher) government decided to give us to China, we never had a vote in Hong Kong and would never have voted for Chinese sovereignty.
