I dont care about why but I do care the real feeling of the HongKong people. They love British far more than China.Hong Kong had British rule of law before being turned over to China.
Do you know why it was returned to China?

They can get freedom and civilization under British, and lose under China GOVT.They want freedom - Does not matter who ruled before.
Is Rwanda massacre right? The whole western are watching as a political right stand? Why western didnot stop this?
Uncivilized african have no ability to creat modern GOVT. Civilized western have the responsibility to lead the uncivilized people and territories.Why did not the OAU stop it when it took place within its borders?
it means that colonization of an area may impose a different culture on that area. some people argue that is always wrong since it was imposed on the people, however, some good happens too... it is not black and white' conclude that is just as wrong as saying it was civilizing barbarians' I am sorry I dont understand what you mean.
Interesting links thanks Goob. I have always found Chinese history to be interesting with the various dynasties and multi-revolutions...etc. A fascinating people also.Yes, it was turned over to the Brits after China lost a war. The Treaty of Nanking- Opium Wars-
Some links for you. It boiled down to balance of payments as tea exports had to be paid for in silver -
Opium was used as a medicine in China for hundreds of years.
The Europeans introduced Opium with tobacco, massive quantities, addiction spread like wildfire - paid for in silver. When the emperor restricted Opium, as it caused a massive drain on the country- guess what.

Opium has been known in China since the 7th century and for centuries it was used for medical purposes. It was not until the 17th century that the practice of mixing opium with tobacco for smoking was introduced into China by Europeans.[1]

The people may not agree with you here Goober.They want freedom - Does not matter who ruled before.
I thought whether colonization are good or bad depended on who did it. If civilized people did, that is good. If barbarian did like Stalin or China, that is bad.it means that colonization of an area may impose a different culture on that area. some people argue that is always wrong since it was imposed on the people, however, some good happens too... it is not black and white
sometimes people are better off, other times not
Hong Kong was better off in my opinion... Tibet is an example of a country that has not done well under the rule of China

The North American's land does not belong to the indians. We cant say the glassland belong to the sheep. Because of the babyish society of indian had not developed the system of land wealth. Nobody owe the land before the western people came in.Depends on which side of the colonization you are on. North American Indians did not fare too well under the oppressive rule of Britain.

In fact, the empire dont care about the abuse of Opium or the negtive influence to the society. Just opium trade surplus of British make the silver came out of China, lowering his empire tax. He is angry about this.Opium was exported from India to China by Jewish bankers. You obviously don't respect reality because you use Wickedpedia.

I would say whether colonization was good or bad is truly something which can be argued on either side. It is not always good, it is not always bad. If you read Chinese history before Communism, China has a long and rich history.I thought whether colonization are good or bad depended on who did it. If civilized people did, that is good. If barbarian did like Stalin or China, that is bad.
The North American land did belong to the Indians in that they were here first. Grassland and sheep is not a good comparison. North American Indians had their own rich culture before they were invaded. It is true they did not own the land they lived upon the land. And in truth no one really owns land. We are only here upon the earth for a short time. The land is a living thing with a nature of it's own.The North American's land does not belong to the indians.

As a Chinese man, I knew the real China was not long and rich history as the western think. No science,No industry, No private ownership, No laws, No philosophy, how could be rich.I would say whether colonization was good or bad is truly something which can be argued on either side.
