This is from Vicky Davis, one of the better researchers I have found on the Internet.This is from her new site, make sure you take a look at her archives from her old site, it is a treasure trove of valid info. My city is marked, so I guess I will have to see what I can dig up on how the Deep State is operating right under my nose.

....In 1984, the People’s Republic of China and the government of the United Kingdom initialed the draft text of an agreement on the future of Hong Kong. Hong Kong had been a British colony since the middle of the 19th century. In a history of the Sino-British Joint Declaration that was posted on the Hong Kong Baptist University website, the author attributed the agreement between China and Britain to the United Nations Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries adopted in 1960. China made clear it’s intention to reclaim sovereignty over Hong Kong in a letter to the UN Special Committee on the Situation in 1972. To the right, there is an excerpt of significant passages in the Declaration. As you read it, keep in mind that the United States was founded by the British initially as a colony until the war for independence.

Hong Kong was an economic powerhouse in Asia. It was a thriving manufacturing and technology hub. To make the deal palatable, China agreed to a deal of one country – two systems. Hong Kong would remain an autonomous region except for defense and foreign affairs.

The final agreement ended a century and a half of British rule over Hong Kong – turning it over to China effective at midnight on June 30th, 1997.

On June 1, 1997, Robert A. Manning of the Progressive Policy Institute published an article titled, The Meaning of Hong Kong. In the article, Manning wrote:...

The British Empire – the British Commonwealth – was a maritime empire – they controlled ports (special administrative zones) for commerce all over the world. Today the name of the association is the Commonwealth of Nations, but it is still led by the British.
