Yes, likewise with almost all colonial areas. Asking the Japanese to stop eating curry, or the Hong Kongers to stop drinking milk tea, or the people of Qingdao to stop making beer, or asking all of China to stop eating egg tarts, would only wreak havoc on culture. After a generation or two such things become assimilated and a part of local culture. The people alive today were born with these things, and they consider them their own.
