If Hong Kong is cut off from the new territories it cannot survive economically. That’s why the British handed it back in 1997 when the 99 year lease ended on the new territories that Britain took during the opium war (when Britain forced China to allow the UK to sell opium to the Chinese people)

Yes, it was pure extortion.
The lease no longer even existed.
I say we take Hong Kong over via international law and Hong Kong self determination and it becomes the 51st state.
