Britain Knew It Was Abandoning Its Subjects in Hong Kong - And Now Millions of People Will Pay the Price for Britain's Decision
More than 1 million protest in Hong Kong, organizers say, over Chinese extradition law
[quote]Hong Kong (CNN)More than 1 million protesters took to the streets of Hong Kong Sunday, organizers said, to oppose a controversial extradition bill that would enable China to extradite fugitives from the city.
The mass of protesters would be the largest demonstration since the city was handed back to China in 1997. Civil Human Rights Front, the group that organized the protests, said 1.03 million people marched -- a figure that accounts for almost one in seven of the city's 7.48 million-strong population.
Critics say the bill will leave anyone on Hong Kong soil vulnerable to being grabbed by the Chinese authorities for political reasons or inadvertent business offenses and undermine the city's semi-autonomous legal system. [/quote]

Britain should have allowed any subject to leave the colony AT THEIR CHOICE before turning over the area to Chinese authorities. They should have asked other Commonwealth nations to help resettle any of the 6.6 million residents who did not want to live under communist rule.
They should have left the Communist Chinese the land, water in the harbor (and I suppose the fish), plenty of empty building and homes and whatever pigeons and other birds that wished to stay in the area. But ALL THE PEOPLE should have been allowed to leave.
