Thanks for hitting the heart of the matter. A lot can happen in that time. Given the direction of things, do you think it will be better? I guess I don't. When HK is supposed to hand itself over to China's rule in 2047, do you think there will be ANY international support for their independence? I don't. That would be directly against the deal that was struck. Wouldn't it be better to use China's interference as a pretext for independence, claiming it was China who has broken the bargain? American independence wasn't about a tea tax or a few soldiers defending themselves in Boston. It was about inevitability and using those events to propel it.
