We will be doing so with allies and through the UN. However we can hardly declare war on China.The optics are terrible, we have let these people down in a massive way, we should be enforcing the joint declaration

In my own family wise - my dad and his 2 brothers came over in the late 80's.
All 3 now own their businesses, one uncle has made enough to retire in his 40's (15 years ago), and became a landlord. All of them came over pretty much broke, never lived in council provided housing, never been on benefits. I got my degree, job and my own business, my sister qualified as a Solicitor.

Do Hong Kong ese really want to come and live there UK?
I think it was more to do with the thought that, back in the late 90s and early 2000s with trade opening up with China that they would start to liberalise and start to head towards democracy and that the 50 year thing would see Hong Kong through till the point China was no longer a one party state/dictatorship. Obviously 20 years later, nothings changed, if anything China is now going backwards so all that's gone out the window and the west are now basically going to pull the plug on Hong Kong and any hope of democracy coming anytime soon to China.
Hasn't Winnie the Pooh got a lifetime premiership? It could be a long time until change occurs. These damn dictators just keep hanging on. Putin I see you.It was a stark contrast from when i went in 2012 and again in 2018. Saw a load more propaganda on the streets including hammer and sickle statues and old fashioned propaganda posters. And the mood of the people i spoke to was much more worried and depressed. Normal people in the ground weren't liking what was happening but they tried to carry on the same as usual but have this odd feeling of something wasn't right beneath the surface. I felt it too when i was there, especially in Beijing, still a beautiful country but being a westerner there can be problematic if you bump into the wrong people having a bad day.
I don't think i'll be going back anytime soon until there's another change at the top but that could be several years away.

It's supposed to be "lifetime" until those around him start having a power struggle or he's discredited beyond recovery.
Depends on whether he can do purges like NK and Russia ,can't have a power struggle of they are all in jail or dead.
What are the chances of his power been transferred to a child of his ( assuming he has kids) and we have a super NK
