We only tolerated the British in preference to the Communists in China. If history is ideal I would want a free and non-Communist China take over Hong Kong. Just to quote what many Hong Kong Chinese think, "We spend half a year bashing the British, but we spend 365 days a year bashing the Communists."

This is the person we want to takeover Hong Kong:

Chiang Kai-shek (1886-1975), former President of the Republic of China.

You can dress it up any way you like. But if the areas and nations we mentioned, and from which you either live or support, would not exist as they are without Britain.

You would think the great nations of the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, from which much of what we cherish has came from would be a lasting and proud legacy.

However, it seems that resentment of the strong from those weaker lasts the generations, in much the same way anti-americanism exists in the very people america protects.

I would suspect you secretly resent the fact the British ruled HK. I do understand that Point of View, but at least admit it to yourself. The HK residents were either too weak to get rid of British rule or they wanted it.

Either way it hurts Chinese pride - hence resentment.
