The Brits “hoped”, they say …
Hopes, words, and greatness go away, but written agreements, balance of power, and China stay …
Could the Brits have done better to prevent post (?) communist China from taking over and slowly digesting formerly colonial, but free (or vice-versa ?) Hong-Kong ?

Long live Hong-Kong, but prepare to become more and more Chinese, like it or stay not.
