Majority of Hongkong people still prefer British rule evan after 27 years of handover to China.We prefer to be a British colony rather than a city of China

@PibrochPonder Being a British colony, protected us from the persecution of Chinese Communist party, we enjoyed much higher degree of freedom during British rule. British Colonial officers developed Hongkong from a fishing village to a very prosperous international city

@jumblestiltskin1365 Hong Kong was the last major colony of UK in the last few decades of British rule, they didn't want to lose the last major colony, so they treated us very well, the elderly people with colonial memory before 1970 can tell us that the British rule was not that good but still better than Chinese Communist government. Most of us don't have the colonial momery before 1970, so our colonial experience is good.

@fortpark-wd9sx During colonial period, millions of refugees from Mainland China fled to HK to escape the Chinese Communist government , 80%of Hong Kong people are refugees or descendants of refugees from Mainland China. Since Hong Kong was the last colony of UK in the last few decades, British colonial officers treated us very well and Hong Kong was very prosperous, so we enjoyed the British rule and only minority of people has asked for democracy during Colonial period, but the CCP treated us much worse than British rule, so we want to have self governance and democracy now

@fortpark-wd9sx Chinese government didn't allow Hong Kong people to have a referendum, they signed a contract with UK and promised to give Hongkong one country two systems, Hong Kong people might enjoy high degree of freedom and self governance, but these promises are never fulfilled

@fortpark-wd9sx no, not only Economic freedom, Chinese government promised to give Hongkong high degree of self governance, but it is never fulfilled. in 1946, UK attempted to give HK higher degree of democracy and introduced "Young Plan" , but Chinese Communist government didn't allow and threat UK that they would invade HK if any constitutional reform was introduced

@fortpark-wd9sx 1947-1957 Hongkong governer Sir Alexander Grantham had published a book "via ports from Hongkong to hong", in 1965, he said the constitutional reform "Yong Plan" was approved by London in around 1950, but he asked London to revoke it. UK has released the internal confidential documents in 1958 & 1962, Chinese Communist government had threat them that they would invade Hong Kong if any constitutional reform was introduced
