100 years under British Rule, while bordering Communist China (for the last half) ... it's its own place, man, or trying to maintain that. It's not China, even though it technically IS, and it's mostly ethnic Chinese.

But for so long, it was place people ESCAPED to, a land of refugees.

And guess who NEVER built a damn wall, even though the area is as FULL as FULL can get? Yeah, the Brits.

Anyways, keep up the fight people of HK!
