re: #226 Jack Burton

Should have set it up as an independent nation. That agreement with China was with the Qing Dynasty, not the PRC. The UK didn’t *have* to continue with it.

It’s been a while since all that happened, but I seem to remember a lot of Hong Kongers who were delirious with joy at leaving GB and rejoining China.

(I’m one of the people who thought it would come to this.)
