Who's fault is it really?

This term we are talking about a recent news headliner.The Hong Kong crisis in china.You may have seen it on websites such as google or in the newspaper or maybe you just learnt about the Hong Kong crisis here like me.In this post I will be talking about what Britain has to do with Hong Kongs problems
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
britain had control over hong kong for a few years when they signed an agreement in 1841 to give china back in 99 years.So since Britain ruled over hong kong, they treaded it like Britain.Laws were changed Hong Kong had human basic rights.Everything was good and the people were happy until the agreement between Hong Kong and Britain ended in 1997.

IS IT BRITAINS FAULT??
My opinion on that question is yes.If Britain left Hong Kong the way it was non of this would’ve started.In class when we were talking about it I pointed out that if Britain Kept Hong Kong everyone would be happy.Well not everyone.Yes the governments would be angry for losing a country and the people who lived in China would move to Hong Kong to live a better lifestyle.But would you rather help a whole part of a country or help a few important people?Here’s an example... Would you rather help the queen or help the half of Britain?Thats a similar question but if it was the London crisis.
THINKING QUESTIONS~~
Would you rather save the rich to get famous and rich or save the in need to get loved?
Do you think Britain should of left China in peace?
Should other countries get involve?

Thank you for your ideas resourceful_drawing. You've said if Britain had kept Hong Kong then everyone would be happy. Can you give some evidence for this, or do you think it is an assumption?
No not everyone will be happy but the citizens of Hong Kong would be happy to keep their basic human rights and freedom of speech.Recently I’ve seen some citizens of Hong Kong on the news protesting to let Britain now they need our help or that we should step in.My opinion on stepping in is no we shouldn’t step in.Its a fact that China has one of the biggest army but ours can fit in a football stadium that’s not very big.If china does decide to have conflict with us there’s a very low chance that we would win
Could there be other ways to step in, other than using the army?
Britain and China could set up a meeting and talk about what they could do

I agree. If Britain didn't let China take over, everything would be fine.

if china once to tack over Hong Kong let them
Its you opinion but many people believe that China shouldn’t have control over Hong Kong.Many people of Hong Kong liked the way Britain ruled with freedom of speech.Its a fact that many people from Hong Kong are moving to Britain to live a better life because they fear that China will take over.

What do you mean better lifestyle
Britain is a safe country with lots of freedom,so when they took over Hong Kong the same laws applied there. Since Hong Kong was like a part of Britain for a while they had freedom unlike China where criticism is not allowed.It was better for them to have freedom

in my opinion we shouldn't get involved because we only have about 100,000 soldiers in our army Hong Kong has probably have 20 times more than we do

l understand why you think that it is Britain 's fault because they signed the agreement in the first place but it was the leader of Hong Kong who introduced the new law to send Hong Kong criminals to have a trial in central China.

That's not true
Do you have a reason?

England should stop fighting because china have a huge population and we won’t win we will just lose men and if England get attacked they won’t be hear to help protect England
Thats exactly what i mentioned in my post i 100% agree with you our army is way to small for a severe argument like this we would lose soldiers for nothing while on the other hand UK will get attacked
