Can China liberate California from USA? There are many cultural and economic differences there, I guess they could become a developed and prosperous independent country without the influence of Washington.

You do understand that the reason we're talking about Donald Trump liberating Hong Kong is because HK isn't supposed to be apart of China, and they're attempting to integrate them as part of their nation through force.

California has always been apart of the US.

He can't even seem to give proper attention to underserved communities what makes us think he will care about people in hong kong

Explain.

There is a long cultural concept of there only being "One China."

I think this is being carried too far by those in china who would "re integrate Hong Kong."

Hong Kong should be handled as a territory, separate and with it's own rules, but still part of the "One China."

I'm pretty sure this is what was agreed to by the Chines when Britian handed HK back to the Chinese when the 100 year lease was over. Though they seem to be slowly chipping at this with no real intervention from foreign powers because they're too scared of hurting their own business interests in China.

As not only does China produce a large amount of the goods in the world for large corporations, they also are an emerging market for these companies. So they have to 'play nice' with China to get what they want.
