It would be nice if Hong Kong citizens had a choice of where to emigrate outside of China but Hong Kong should be integrated into the Greater Bay Area. Hong Kong’s economic relevance to the story of China has fallen to almost negligible levels, it doesn't make sense to identify it as separate from the 8 megacities that surround it which are economic marvels and productivity houses. Our news should be populated by the numerous things occurring in the 8 larger, more populated, higher GDP outputting cities in the Guangzhou region. Shenzhen alone, bordering Hong Kong, is likely more interesting this decade and into the future. Hong Kong functions as a mere administrative convenience for circumventing customs duties to the rest if the world. Any nation in a similar situation would look at all avenues of integration, no matter how skeptical people were. Is that inaccurate? I think this perspective isn't presented.
