Hong Kong was taken from China by both force and blackmail by the British to become it's pumping station of Opium into the Chinese.
Imagine Columbia setting up office on the Gold Coast to pump Ice into Australians and force the Government to accept it. Columbians 'own' the Gold Coast. The Mexicans arrive to take their version of Macau.
So Hong Kong is rightfully theirs. At least the British stuck to their word and left after 99 years of drug induced economic exploitation of China.
China is standing up for itself finally. After the USSR stole much land off them. Japan raped and slaughtered them in a way that a NAZI had to ask the Nips to
"Go easy Bro". At least the Himalaya Mountains keep the Blacks from India out like a Great Wall of China.
The Chinese Nationals who opposed the Communists are now left wanting on Taiwan - which is a statement in itself that Taiwan is a part of China and if the Nationals based themselves there as their last port of call, then the Communists have every right to it too.
What we are seeing is a 'bullied' China that has emerged to become what we see as a 'Bully' now. The West feels the threat of China becoming strong, as Russia recedes more into weakness.
China will retake the lands the Soviets stole under the USSR , from the hands of the Russians that are left wanting.
But even the South Asian (Australasian) nations like Myanmar & Vietnam head the others in Red Alert about an invasion from China.
China would be wise to just take what is rightfully theirs.
But the West fears it will take more than it's own share. To the West, it's Media will pump out
"China wants to invade us too!" before anthing of the like actually happens.
The Hong Kongers will come under China like a bunch of druggos whinging about the lack of Opium anymore, but dependent on 'anyone' to run their country.
Taiwan and its last remaining rebel base of Nationals will fight it out, but just flee to 'America'! Ariba!
Russia is the big one. Russia will be forced to 'save face' and WAR will erupt between the two. Russia is fading, it's military more a Mafia Gang with a rusted Navy, etc. China will win. The Servant is now the Master.
Russia will call for USA help (ironic huh
) - but the USA, still in the economic doldrums from Corona. Will hesitate.
Only North Korea will bring it into the fray.
Islam will expend it's final run as an 'Empire' upon the European sacrifice of France to take the full brunt of their Jihad-Genocide against Christianity. France's only hope is to shed its Christian skin and sacrifice it to the Moslems in the shape of a 'Messiah' for them.
Indonesia is attacked by an Alliance of Catholic Phillipinos, Papuan New Guineans, Bouganvillians, Solomoners, East Timor, Balinese, Vanuatuans, New Caledonians, Micronesians and 'indigenous indonesians'... and Australian Mercs.
China gets Pakistan and Bangladesh to open up on India with Nukes. India replies in same. China is most pleased both took each other out with Nukes galore at Bangalore.
Australia thinks it's all high and mighty?
Wait till Africa comes calling.
