This thread is a mind opener to the thinking of the average Nigerian. Would you want to be a strong independent country or forever be subservient to a foreign power.
China is right here claiming what is rightfully his but some who never had a say in how their country was formed are here throwing tantrums.
China has been a country in existence for the past 4000 years and not some country that got minted in 1914.

So in essence the partitioning of Africa is a good thing to you? Hong Kong was made an enclave of the British to make trade easy.

How does my post suggest that the partitioning of Africa is good to me? Did I say they should remain under the UK? I'm never supporting the UK. I never insinuated they did the right thing. But I'm vehemently advocating for the right of the people of HK to make their own choices. They should decide if they want to remain a territory or a Sovereign state. This is only fair. All this long talk is not necessary.

Hian!!! Dude, are you serious? grin grin grin

Russia does not even in any way share land borders with the US. I live in Canada. I don't know the map you are referring to but this one here clearly shows that Alaska is on the Canadian side of the divide.

Hong Kong is not deep in mainland China, it only shares border with China. This can be seen in on the map below. Jesu, dude, it's just amazing how boldly you are saying all the wrong things.

I take you're feeling sleepy. It should be late in Nigeria already.

Nawa o. Alaska between the US and Russia grin grin grin


Russia is closer to the US than Togo is close to Nigeria.

Hong Kong is in between China and it's impossible to be on it own.

Hong Kong can't survive without China.

Why is China not having the same problem with Macau.
Hong Kong's recent problems is because it was administered by the British is if it wereto be in Portuguese there won't have any issue now.

LOL The UK and its allies can bomb China back to the stone age. China can barely function now. Imagine how a real war would cripple them.

No Asian country is in the position to threaten the UK. And Russia isn't fighting for those idiots.

F**k China.

The distance between Russia and the US was never the bone of contention. I said Alaska is is within the boundaries of Canada. He called me me ignorant and said it wasn't true. I shared the map to show that Alaska is indeed withing the boundaries of Canada and that the border between Russia and Alaska is not even a land border but maritime border.

As for your argument of Hong Kong not being able to survive without China, yes they rely on China for food importation but then, no country is self sufficient. If they can't survive without China, I believe they know that and would vote to remain with China if given a referendum so why not just give them that chance to express themselves?

Maybe you are right. I don't know. But does this in any way undermine the need to give them a chance to say if they want to be sovereign or not? You don't think the people should have a say?

You're absolutely right. In a fair world, HK should be allowed both by China and Britain to determine its destiny- whether to be an independent state or be reunited with China.

But this world is not a fair world. Meanwhile, try to understand the perspective of China in this matter. HK was always part of China, till after the Opium wars. Then China was a relatively weak country, economically and militarily. They were unfairly dominated by the British, and forced into making "unequal" treaties. Today, China is no longer the country it used to be some 150 to 200 years ago. It is now a very influential country, among other things.

Right now, China, with Xi(a radical nationalist) as it's leader

Good one from China. UK please wake up from your dream you are no longer a colonial power. China is a sovereign nation and has the sovereign right to impose whatever law she deems necessary over her territory. China was foolish to have allowed the autonomous status, why would a colonial master steal your territory from you, ruled it for over a century and still dictate to you how to govern it after. Well that was when China was weak.

Don't blame China. She reserves every right to get back at those who messed her up in recent history, as well as take back(or even annex) a region that used to be part of her. The only problem is that it's the people of HK that really feel the heat. If the UK will ever respond, it will only be by proxy

Oga it is bad news for China. Hong Kong citizens don't see themselves as part of China, and they don't want anything to do with China, if not that British handed over to China with autonomy agreement, Hong Kong people won't have let the British hand over the territory. They prefer to live under Capitalist West than a Socialist China. That's the fact. Ask any Hong Kong resident, they hate Mainland China with passion. Hong Kong is the best part of China, with no massive air polution that people can't even breathe clean air like Mainland China. If the Chinese govt continue their crackdown and UK offers Hong Kong residents visas, then it means that Hong Kong will go back to being a British Territory because they will ask them to do referendum with the UN, and once their votes wins to be part of UK, then game over for China, and good news for America. It means the USA will now have a military base with the biggest missiles and warheads right inside China's doorstep, and if them do anyhow, and it escalates to war, it will be easy for the West to take them out. Right now all the Western countries are already aligning together to punish China for the COVID-19, the USA has formally identified China as an enemy, and it will be the perfect chance to destroy China's influence, economy and military power. China is about to fall if they are not careful, and the Russia they are relying on won't be able to help them, because without America in the picture, China is Russia's biggest threat. Their only alliance today is because of America.

When a wise person speaks, you will know... All the comments before this one are so lame..

I agree with you 100%. It's actually a relief to see someone that sees my point.

China has the right to deal with those that messed up with her years ago. I'm only after the interest of the people being governed. If a referendum is given to them, chances are, the majority might still vote for a stay. And they'd still be part of China. But that would, at least, give China a more reassuring position. It's not for HK alone, it could be another country tomorrow. China is becoming the world power, references will be made to them in future just like they are made to the US today.

they think the UK is a country without influence... The UK basically is the most influential country when it comes to diplomacy.. Indians killing Chinese soldiers is still tied to Britain.. cus the indians. still pays homage to the UK
