To most communists you mean. You lying sack of communist propaganda. China threatened to invade and slaughter the Chinese of Hong Kong if they were allowed to choose their own status. They threatened Britian with war if any elections were held on the status. Because they KNEW that most Chinese preferred western freedom to communist rule.
It doesn't matter what the people there wanted. Britain was ONLY in Hong Kong under the terms of a LEASE. China never gave up authority over that land.
The agreement was always that Hong Kong would revert to China at the end of that lease.
