Since BLM and Antifa are Marxists/commies we could make a trade too. Hong Kong takes Antifa and BLM members and sympathizers - - and we take an equal number of Hong Kong residents.

Our Marxists/commies get to live in a soon to be created commie hellhole (what they think of as heaven on earth) and Hong Kong residents who value freedom come here. It's a win win win win....

London and Hong Kong are two of the top financial centers on Earth.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to capture a pool of top flight human capital that is being displaced - and it just so happens to be a perfect fit for London’s specialty.

They should allow whole financial companies to relocate as a group, with their families.

The main thing though is to get the rich ones, and the top talent (who also tend to be rich).

The US needs to make a special offer to Hong Kong citizens to come to the US. ....................... The House will not approve of it. The senate might, but somehow the opposition will say its racist.

A business owner I knew in Hong Kong set up a mirror company in Vancouver BC about 2 years before the 1997 take over. Nobody trusted the CCP then either.

There were a lot of others doing the same.
I understand that Vancouver BC has been nicknamed Little Hong Kong.

Will the CCP allow them to leave or will the very act of trying to leave HK lead to your death or disappearance or remaining members of your family?

The second one. The value of Hong Kong is that it's a bridge to the economies of the west. If all the people that make that bridge function were to bail it would just be another Chinese ghost city full of empty high rises except these will be ones that actually used to generate wealth and prosperity.

“Some one has to pay for the the freeloading Muslim pukes”

Depends what continent and lets say color.

My brother lives outside of Detroit/Dearborn and has many muslim clients. Muslims from ME are very hard working, strong business owners.

Somali or African muslims different story.

It was originally Chinese territory that the British forcibly told China to lease to them after the opium war (under the last Dynasty of China, the Qing Dynasty ). China leased HK to the British for 99-years in 1898. The UK was simply keeping her end of the agreement.

if these HK Chinese have learned anything from their PRC neighbors, they’ll be able to help defend UK from its (very dangerous) Muslim invasion

If I remember correctly, part of the territory of Hong Kong was leased for 99 years and the other part was British with no time limit, but the British made both parts subject to the 1997 agreement.

I will be flamed here but I think Trump should make the same offer and grant speedy U.S. green cards and path to citizenship to long time legal Hong Residents via application at the American consulate in Hong Kong.

I'm sure I could find room to resettle a few of them.

Excellent strategy... Possibly killing two birds with one stone...
