Thanks for hitting the heart of the matter.

A lot can happen in that time. Given the direction of things, do you think it will be better? I guess I don't.

When HK is supposed to hand itself over to China's rule in 2047, do you think there will be ANY international support for their independence? I don't. That would be directly against the deal that was struck.

Wouldn't it be better to use China's interference as a pretext for independence, claiming it was China who has broken the bargain?

American independence wasn't about a tea tax or a few soldiers defending themselves in Boston. It was about inevitability and using those events to propel it.

In 1982, pretty much everyone assumed the Soviet Union was still going to be around in 1992, but it wasn't.

Who knows what China will look like in 2047. A lot can happen in 28 years.
