On June 9, 1898, the British under Queen Victoria brokered a 99-year lease agreement for the use of Hong Kong after China lost a series of wars fought over the British trade in tea and opium.
Hong Kong was first incorporated into China in 243 BCE, during the Warring States period and as the Qin state was beginning to grow in power. It remained almost constantly under Chinese control for the next 2,000 years. In 1842, under British Queen Victoria's expansionist rule, Hong Kong became known as British Hong Kong.
Nineteenth-century Britain had an insatiable appetite for Chinese tea, but the Qing Dynasty and its subjects did not want to buy anything that the British produced and demanded that the British instead pay for its tea habit with silver or gold. The government of Queen Victoria did not want to use up any more of the country's reserves of gold or silver to buy tea, and the tea-importation tax generated during the transactions was a major percentage of the British economy. Victoria's government decided to forcibly export opium from the British-colonized Indian subcontinent to China. There, opium would then be exchanged for tea.
Xi is on our side. China will not take anything. Many different things are aligning and coming to a head. The Chinese economy will collapse and with it, communism.
Or maybe, just maybe, Taiwan gets mainland China.
Fuck yeah now we're outside the box mate.
Mainland China = Western Taiwan
It matters not once we have purged evil from power.
Depends.
