I honestly have no idea if you're writing this in agreement with my point or in an attempt to contradict it. edit: Either I was blind earlier or you edited your post. > Even if we take your claims about language for granted, The city that Cantonese is named after is on the Mainland, and mainlander Cantonese far outnumber those in Hong Kong. By your logic an independent Hong Kong is as natural as Brooklyn being independent from the rest of New York. My first point is that Hong Kongers of course should have had the right to vote on the handover back to China. They were not offered that and we can't go back. My second point is that we shouldn't just assume Chinese are some sort of hivemind of people of a single culture. Native Hong Kongers are not somehow culturally pre-ordained to be part of China. Even ignoring that the PRC is breaking its treaty agreement, their voices should not be ignored due to some idea of inevitable PRC rule.
