lol.
just to be fair, britain was the agressor
So? While they were MORALLY wrong, there was nothing LEGALLY wrong with it at that time. It only clearly became legally wrong with the international legal regime put in place in the aftermath of World War II.
Well, enough Bashing of Britian. 
Any thoughts on Macau? When the socialists came to power in 1974 they offered Macau back to Mao, but Mao turned them down. Was there a reaction by the ROC, or did the ROC not know about it at the time?
Did they issue any response to the handover of Macau from Portugal to the PRC, or were they done after fuming about Hong Kong for a little bit?
If Taiwan cannot even get immigration right for HKers, it is so far away from doing anything for non-Chinese-diaspora immigrants.
HKie need a reality check everywhere. They left a handsomely paid, relatively safe and efficient territory (let aside politics) to move to now either dysfunctional countries (UK more and more…) or low paid (but still safe and relatively efficient) like TW. In both cases, most of the skills of these emigrants (highly technical legal and accounting/business related competences) r in very low demand and paid so much less than in HK. Even the “luckier” who went to Canada or managed to get to Australia r in the same predicament.
The only things here that are an advantage for them, are culture, food (bar cantonese food…), safety.

Had Taiwanese and HK friend chat with us, HKer thought Taiwan is dangerous/ no safe? Taiwanese though it as rude to say, but are HK people more rude/direct (A causa dell’impazienza e dello stress a cui sono sottoposti gli abitanti di Hong Kong, spesso diventano anche maleducati. )
never heard any HKie saying so tbh, and I used to live there.
they are, they are a transactional people, not that much time for politeness.
