    Witch Thatcher, high off the win in the Malvinas/Falklands thought she’d be able to scare the PRC into keeping HK in perpetuity.

    She was too pompous to have remembered that Deng and his comrades had weathered the long march, the Japanese invasion and the civil war. He simply said “if we can’t agree on a peaceful handover, then we’ll have to reconsider the method and time to reunify with HK”. That was enough for Thatcher to work up a cold sweat. Unfortunately Deng did not live to see the city returned to its motherland, so Jiang was there as leader to continue the legacy.

    Quite fitting that she fell over during her visit to the PRC as well lmao.

    A PLA general later recalled his time visiting a military academy in the UK, overhearing some students there baffled by the decision to hand back HK. The instructor’s question quickly made them aware why… “so you want to keep HK, which of you are going to face the PLA to take it?”.

    Imagine throwing all of the struggles of the people that worked their way up to this point, and then throw it all away to appease your western masters. That is what this guy represents.
