      For the UK my best guess would be wales and scotland continue their “devolution” while Ireland becomes united once again. I think at some point Wales and Scotland will be independent of England.

        I don’t think Wales will ever be independent. Scotland maybe, but it will immediately join the EU if it does which kind of makes independence a moot point, going from one master to another. Northern Ireland almost certainly will be liberated and re-united with the Republic sometime in the future.

      China has large investments in the UK. I potentially see northern Ireland returned if China continues it’s economic ties with the UK. Especially if Xi can project the anti colonial power we’ve seen domestically outward.
