Daily there are reports of RIOTS in Hong Kong (HK), but also of heavy-handed attempts to restore calm in HK by forces sent by the Chinese Government in Peking !
Peking considers that the local Police Force in HK is incapable of restoring Order ! BUT also, Peking wants to imprison HK offenders in China, not locally in HK !
One could say such action does not respect the spirit of the conditions in the 1997 Agreement where the intention clearly is that HK would remain Independent and only become totally Chinese in 2047 ! China now seems to be trying to force changes much earlier.

There are many British Citizens still in HK and some have never lived elsewhere, but will they all want to remain after 2047 ? Are there any plans ready to help them to migrate elsewhere ?
There is currently a population explosion in Asia, particularly in China and China is already happy to encourage its surplus subjects to emigrate ! BUT it will NOT want to lose experienced businessmen ! Finally, would China ever help anyone to realise personal assets before leaving ?
Would Australia and others in the British Commonwealth be prepared to accept HK Immigrants on a "Selective basis" ? Would they not help active Businessmen to "relocate" ?
Britain should set a long-term plan in motion. China is ruthless and it will do anything to become the Master of HK tomorrow rather than patiently wait until 2047 !
