I just found this reply very interesting:

>>
The 99 year lease was up so they turned it back over.

What I cannot understand was why so many liberal stooges in the USA and Europe were celebrating the event in such a grand manor.

The Peoples Republic of China murdered at least 30 million people in the 20th century; why was turning one of the freest, most prosperous countries on the planet over to these bloodthirsty savages cause for a party.

Would they have been dancing in the streets if we had decided to turn parts of Europe back over to Nazi Germany? After all the mere 12 million people that they stuffed into ovens makes them a bunch of Boy Scouts in comparison.

Ask yourself, why would UK starts thinking of returning HK in the late 70's, the time when cultural revolution has "just" finished...

Funny enough, it's the UK that started the talk...

Your comments make me feel like you don't have any knowledge for the history background of that period...
