I dont think Hong Kong people has any problems with being rule by fellow 
Chinese. The only problem we had is being rule by a dictatorship with lots
of people above the law.

Although the British has taken advantage from us but in return Hong Kong people
have got our freedom and stability during all the turmoil years in the 50s and
60s. And we dont need worry about being run over by tanks especially 
cheappies :)

:   You remind me of a story happened at HK airport not too many years ago, some

That has nothing to do with whether Taiwanese consider themselves as Chinese
or not. As UK doesnt recongise ROC therefore Taiwanese are required to apply
for a visa before entring HK. As a result, they can only stay in the airport
instead of entring HK and go to Hotels. That is normal procedure and regulation
is regulation, it is because they are in transit.  And by the way, I dont know
how accurate is your information, as the airline company should arrange 
accomodation and it has nothing to do with the HK govenrment.

As for all the interest in the reserve, basically the British government cannot
take them as they are for maintaining the HK dollar value in the money market.
Noone can take them away. Besides the HK governemtn budget is audited and the
public can always get information about it, so how can the British ship the
money home without notices ??  As for the airport, that is extactly what HK 
needed.  So we pay for what we got. If the money didnt goto the British, 
most likely it will end up with the Japanese, which one you perfer ? :) 
I would rather help the poor :):)

I wont show any respect to a Chinese government until that government serve 
her people and treated every Chinese with dignity and respect.
