First, not our problem. Second, Hong Kong was leased to the UK, the lease ended. Third, when the UK left, they left the people and did not give them access to the UK or citizenship. They remained Chinese citizens of Hong Kong. None of this involved the US, they are not our citizens, not our problem. Hong Kong and the Chinese there were part of China, leased, and now returned. Maybe it sucks for them, but not our problem. Maybe they can help fix China now that they have returned.
I remember thinking this back in 97: why not offer dual citizenship to those who wished to remail loyal to the Crown? I’ve been to Hong Kong and it is a wonderful of a fusion of history, modernity and culture. I hope we aren’t seeing the end ‘with a whimper’.
“Second, Hong Kong was leased to the UK, the lease ended.”
Wrong.
Don’t say stupid things you know nothing about.
