US does not support any idea other than handover. It is called handover in English, but somehow in Chinese it is return to china or hand back to china. Subtle but substantial difference. ( Only New Territories belongs to the them, not Kowloon or HK Island ) Deng Xiaoping also made it explicitly clear, hand it back or soldiers will cross border.

If they dare to hand it over to ROC, they might as well kept it themselves.

The UK recognizes the PRC as the successor regime of China, and thus the rightful owner of all that's due of the UK to China under the various treaties between them.

Somehow? That's how.

Kowloon and HK Island had always been Chinese territory. The British defeated China in a series of wars, mostly for the right to sell opium in China, and took them as spoils.

When China became strong enough to defeat the British, they wanted them back, and there's nothing the British could do except handing them back.

Funny how that worked out, wasn't it?

My advice? Read up a little on history.

Just as I suspected, you did know the history, you were just feigning ignorance.

So I suspect you do know the relevant internation laws as well. But allow me to quote myself:

You are free to live in your make-believe world in which Kowloon and HK island were never part of China. The rest of us? We live in the real world.

Qing Dynasty?

And forget about the history part, It is rather obvious you dont know the difference between China the country or land ruling under CCP or China itself as an entire entity.
