A little-known fact about Hong Kong: Britain 🇬🇧didn’t legally have to hand over Hong Kong Island & Kowloon in 1997.
Only the New Territories.
The island was ceded to Britain in perpetuity after the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. Kowloon was also permanent. Only the New Territories were on a 99-year lease expiring in 1997.
But the New Territories had become completely integrated, water supply, industry, population, infrastructure. Separating them would’ve left the rest unsustainable.
China refused any split and demanded the whole territory back. So Britain negotiated the full handover under “one country, two systems.”

五月中美峰会可以看看懂王拿什么来还了。

I just realized
One of the reasons the west dominated in technology is that our character set is typewriter friendly
So we could fit all glyphs into a small space, where eastern languages wouldn’t work, they needed whole new script just for computers
But now we’re in the age of AI, and eastern scripts can represent full words in a single token, way more efficient and cheaper
The pendulum swings back
Just saying
