What are you fucking talking about. Hong Kong has always been part of China. The imperialist monarchical tyranny of Great Britain forcibly occupied Hong Kong and separated it from Chinese governance on a temporary contractual basis. Once that contract was up, Hong Kong was once again part of China but instead of completely overturning everything in Hong Kong, the Chinese government established a way of working called “One Country, Two Systems” that is making the transition away from the dynastic monarchy of unapologetic genocidal racists easier for the people of Hong Kong.
The fact that the youth of Hong Kong decided to protest part of this process is a function of British propaganda. The protestors elders were not in support of the protests and some even threw their kids out of their homes for their participation. Meanwhile, the protesters in Hong Kong were incredibly violent for a prolonged period of time and the response from the Chinese government was incredibly sedate, patient, and considerate, especially compared to literally anything the USA has done domestically when people protest for the rights of black people.
Your narrative is fantastical with little to no basis in reality.
Colonialism seems to leave quite a mindfuck on local populations themselves. The young people I knew from Hong Kong (at the time since this was a long time ago) considered themselves British. Ethnically Chinese yeah but if you asked they were British. If the locals can be propagandized by invaders it’s pretty easy to convince western zeitgeist that Hong Kong was anything but an occupied region of China.
regardless if the people wanted it or not, yay for Xi…
also a reunification War doesn’t have to surmount to a World War.

A war between Taiwan and China would absolutely become a World War.
Reunification can be peaceful like it was with Hong Kong.
This is satire right?
can always rely on lemmy.world accounts to say the dumbest shit possible 😂
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
It’s fucking unhinged
