1996, Britain positions nuclear submarines near Hong Kong. 1997, Britain, with US backing, refuses to transfer Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty, and states that they will back their claim over the territory with nuclear weapons.

Just to be clear, the US is supporting them in this scenario. Britain, obviously preparing for this standoff, has heightened their military presence on the territory, maybe opening up a joint US-UK base there.

Does China use military force to retake Hong Kong, or do they take Britain bluff seriously? How well could the territory hold up with a year of NATO military prep? Does this open up a new Cold War with China, or does the west (or east) decide to back down? Where does this put Russia? Closer to the west, or east?

and lastly, as a last result, could a joint US-UK submarine preemptive strike take out China's nuclear capability before they have the chance to launch?

China be like: β€œgroundless slanders” and β€œU.K. has no sovereignty, jurisdiction or right of β€˜supervision’ over Hong Kong after the handover, and it has no so-called β€˜obligations’ to Hong Kong citizens”. Anyway, THANK YOU UK for speaking up and BN(O) visas as always!

Taiwan says it is absolutely impossible for it to cooperate over the surrender of murder suspect Chan Tong-kai if Hong Kong insists on trying to degrade the island's sovereignty.

Taipei has accused the Hong Kong government of using a murder case involving two Hongkongers to attempt to degrade the island's sovereignty.

The comment, from Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, comes after Taipei said it would not accept the return of murder suspect Chan Tong-kai unless Hong Kong provides it with more evidence of his alleged crime through a mutual legal assistance process.

Chan reportedly confessed to murdering his Hong Kong girlfriend Poon Hiu-wing in Taipei early last year after he had fled back to the SAR. He is expected to be released from prison on Wednesday after serving time for a money laundering offence connected to the killing.

Chan is said to be willing to surrender himself to the Taiwanese authorities after his release.

But Taipei said on Monday that Hong Kong's refusal to provide prosecutors with evidence relating to the case shows it is treating Taiwan as though it is part of China.

The Mainland Affairs Council said it is absolutely impossible for Taiwan to accept such an arrangement and cooperate with Hong Kong.

In response, executive councillor and barrister Ronny Tong said Taiwan's stance on the matter is "total nonsense".

"There is no evidence in Hong Kong which can benefit, or contribute, to the successful prosecution of murder in Taiwan," he said, without elaborating.

The SAR government says Chan cannot be extradited to "any other part of the People's Republic of China", and the murder case was cited by Chief Executive Carrie Lam as the reason for her now abandoned extradition bill, which has sparked months of protests in Hong Kong

Voters should shun Hong Kong's sham election. β€œCandidates are required to take an oath of allegiance to Beijing. While it's known as a patriotism test, in reality it is about loyalty to the CCP, not just to China’s sovereignty.

Current Hong Kong residents, how much do you feel that China is actually encroaching on your sovereignty, and how are people responding to it?

I have been reading several articles recently about the China/Hong Kong conflict, and I’ve noticed conflicting viewpoints regarding what is actually going on. I am curious to hear the perspective from an actual Hong Kong resident regarding these recent events, and how serious they actually are. Thank you in advance!
