It seems as if China wants the whole world to know that Hong Kong now belongs to her. The daily flag-raising ceremony brazenly proclaims it to the few Chinese national tourists who witness the event. The Hong Kong Museum of History dedicates a whole display on the handover.
He thinks however, with reason of course, that the people of Hong Kong are oblivious or ignorant, to say the least, of this. Baptist University's latest newsletter ran a cover story on the national identity of the people of Hong Kong with most students not identifying themselves as Chinese nationals.
But this can only mean either one of two things. That Hong Kong is pretty much still the same or China is slowly changing Hong Kong without the locals having any idea. He only hopes it's the former. Hong Kong needs to balance China in the general scheme of things and act as the source of all good changes which China needs to undergo in order to take control of the future.
