#2As someone from a country that was formerly part of the British Empire, I am viewing the situation in Hong Kong with horror. There are many negative things about the British legacy, but they gave us a global language, institutions, law, and notions of personal and economic freedom. The idea of all that being eaten by China...

#3I wish the U.S. could make a New Hong Kong territory on the west coast somewhere. I think that would give the HKers access to the Pacific and a place to rebuild. I'd love to have those brilliant entrepreneurs and engineers over here.

we (US) should just give them all path to citizenship. No, special territory is a horrible idea.

#5The UK stands to benefit tremendously from this olive branch to the HK people. It could rival Operation Paperclip (but without the war crimes coverups)

Nah I think in HK's case it would be awesome. They'd have the autonomy to set up their own laws and regulations similar to what they currently have. I know this is a pie in the sky proposal but in my ideal world this would be a thing.

#7This seems like the only way forward for HK citizens :-/

#8It would be highly advantageous for the US to offer the same (assuming they even want to come here still)

That sounds like a terrible idea. That would give china an excuse to try to kick the us out of asia.

I think we should let the UK pay for its sins for a change. Setting up anything "autonomous" with its own laws and customs is a terrible idea. Assimilation should be a requirement for immigration.
