@Chenster24 One finds it laughable that someone who seems to have a clear lack of historical knowledge thinks it appropriate to try and justify their argument by attempting personal attacks. Are your Party paymasters not paying you the 50 cents you were promised anymore? Or do you lack the ability to see that us Hong Kong people are proud of being Chinese - you have lost your sense of what it means to be Chinese. For you, it is all about "national pride" when in actual fact you shun the Chinese people who preserved the national language, who practiced traditional customs, and embraced British culture to create something unique and beautiful. As a side note, how much of Imperial Chinese History do they actually teach up North? Doesn't seem like much. If you've actually learned anything about the failures of the Qing, then you would know why they suffered such embarrassing defeat at the hands of the British TWICE. Ultimately ceding and expanding the territory to Britain, which was later settled and developed into the international finance centre which continues to thrive to this day. With regards to your comments about growing a spine and being a "spineless dog who loves to eat the shit of foreigners", perhaps it would be better for yourself to actually reflect on your attitude. We Hong Kong people have been actively voicing our thoughts, practicing our freedom of speech and standing up for ourselves; to call us spineless is as sensible as denying the 天安门 massacre of 1989, which I am sure you have heard of, but no doubt ignore because you have been so intensively brainwashed to ignore it. To "eat the shit of foreigners" is such a strange term, especially when Hong Kong has preserved so much more of China's traditional history than the mainland; not only do we read and write in traditional Chinese, we speak and listen in the most original dialect, Cantonese. I can see English is probably not a language you know very well (I know they don't teach it so well up North), I'll simplify this for you: It is better to be a second-class citizen under a British government which listens to you, than a second-class citizen under a authoritarian communist Chinese government which would rather kill you than pay you any attention. By the way, seeing as you have access to KZitem, you probably have access to Google, [which is also banned in China] so that means you can do all the research into the aforementioned topics so that you won't look like such a fool the next time you touch a keyboard. It's been fun mate, but I would seriously consider taking a walk outside and actually seeing the world as it is, rather than simply being a 井底之蛙. You can consider this a goodbye and farewell as I am tired of having to shut commies like you down with facts.

For those that don’t know: to the anger of the Chinese, the Queen intentionally didn’t attend this handover. It symbolised both her own and the crown’s disapproval. Even though we had no choice but to hand Hong Kong back, historically, for a British monarch to purposely not attend an event is regarded to be one of the most powerful statements the crown can make.

British colonists actually did well in 70s to 90s. They built up public house, established anti-corruption organization which effectively cracked down corruption, turned Hong Kong into a wealthy international city, and most importantly gave Hong Kong freedom and partial democracy. Some of the british governors also cared about the interest of Hong Kong people, even against the interest of Britain. For example, in 1992 Chris Patten(the man which stand in middle in 2:20), the last governor of HK, had launched a political reform giving more democracy to HK people, but China government went against the proposal. They shouted their word of hate toward Mr Patten, calling him running dog and “a sinner of a thousand years”, and did their to stop the political reform. Some British business leader also opposed the reform, as they thought it would harm the relationship between China and Britain and it would adversely affect their interest. Nowadays, the chief executive of Hong Kong only concern about the interest of Beijing, and just directly receive order from their Beijing's master. CCP is more shameful, they like to take credit for almost everything, claim many British legacies as their own gifts to HK. I just hear a Chinese official claim that Hong Kong people have no right to protest under the British rule. It is a fucking lie and an absolute nonsense.

Indeed, the Communist Chinese regime repeatedly threatened the colonial government not to implement any form of real democracy in Hong Kong. The British first tried to introduce pathways into democracy right after WWII. Mark Young, governor of Hong Kong at the time, proposed a series of political reforms, which were turned down due to the Chinese's military threats. If you want to know more, search "Young Plan" online to know more. With the huge hindrance by Hong Kong's northern neighbour, Hong Kong did not become a democratic society, like many other former British colonies after WWII. Yet, the British had built Hong Kong into a free, prosperous society, especially 1970s onwards.

Why are you here commenting anyway. You lot have nothing to do with Hong Kong, know nothing about the city, our struggles and hope since the 1979s, you didn’t grow up here and you know fuck all about our aspirations, our culture, and our sentiments towards things about this city’s past and present. All you do is pull criticism out of your ass on how HK people ought to think and behave based on your Communist sanctioned mentality and your romantic idea of how all ethnic Chinese around the world should behave. Well you can fuck right off.

One of the saddest days of my life so far, June 30, 1997. I watch this video along with others that are online and relive this day as often as I can. It might seem strange but I feel pride in the fact that the world was all together that day watching this special moment in time as sad as it was. Hong Kong is the Pearl of Asia. It was the diamond of the British Commonwealth and it still is the most dynamic and prosperous place on the planet. I have never had the privilege to visit Hong Kong but I have over the last 19 years studied the city, the people, along with the news that comes from this city. My first experience of studying Hong Kong came as a school project in 1996. I was studying International Trade and I chose Hong Kong to study as a country profile for my class assignment. Over the years, I fell in love with this oasis. Since I was a child I have collected flags from each place that I have visited. The one flag that I have added to my collection from a place that I have never visited is the British Blue Ensign of Hong Kong. It is by far my favourite. The lion meets the dragon. What a beautiful friendship indeed.

@Iberian dream they had been acting as a virtually independent Commonwealth state, the British government's only real job was to protect her from china during the rise of the CCP leading up to 1997. Damn shame the Chinese government wants to pillage and ruin her for their own benefit, but I'd expect nothing less from an institution decended from thieves. God save Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, they are all that remain of true china.
