> In 1997, China regained sovereignty over Hong Kong. It remains a SAR until 2047. Why do you think China has any intention of keeping their end of that contract? (And I'm not being snarky either.) Contracts in general are done between parties of approximately equal power, or in lieue of that, in an environment where a third party has sufficient power over all signatories. The only sane position is to take the most cynical one: assume that anyone and everyone will attempt to break the rules of the contract at every opportunity, if it benefits them. Everyone is immoral. And the only ones who play fair are those who don't know how to cheat well enough.
