Hong Kong was not British colony as China did not recognise unequal treaties ceding city to Britain, new textbooks reveal

[Hamartia Antidote]

Did UK textbook tell their children. Great Britain force opium on China and even start opium war to force Opium freely/legally sold/trade in China. They even forcefully invade and capture a colony called HongKong from China...

Talking about whitewash... LOL.

Probably..don't know...but hopefully the section isn't titled "The Opium War and the Humiliation of China" as when i do a search i find this.

Hong Kong was not British colony as China retained sovereignty: new textbooks

The textbooks also adopt government’s account of 2019 social unrest, saying it was a threat to national security and external forces were behind protests.

looks like telegraph made a sensational title, what the textbook says is the Non-Recognition of HK's colonial status from 1972 to 1997

Precisely, UK textbook wouldnt tell their children of their forefather evil drug cartel , plunder other wealth like pirates and robber. And this selective article by UK try to tell off China of what is whitewash?

Maybe you want to tell me there no such thing called opium war. UK just try to force whitewashing powder onto Chinese to teach them better of washing clothes. British in the 18/19 century are such civilized gentlemen!

I dunno..for all we know they actually may highlight all that as a positive not a negative.

At least not a slumdog state.

A shithole nevertheless.

A shithole nevertheless.

You mean the savage British who sell drugs and force on others and then rob other of their land?

I agree!

A shithole nevertheless.

Are you degrading that of HK now ?

To be honest, I was very confused. Why would an American defend British colonization of Chinese territory in a Forum in Pakistan. Pakistan also has a history of British colonization.

US is a former colony of Great Britain.

You are confused because you don't find Government's rewriting history to be an issue at all so the problem is not popping right out at you. I'm sure you are used to the Chinese Government doing this and so take it for granted..others find it a slippery slope where you then end up not knowing what to believe.

Look at how this guy says it was one of the main reasons for the USSR collapse.

How televising the 1987 NBA finals helped destroy the USSR

Russian citizen giving us an interesting tidbit.. TLDR version The Soviet propaganda machine (with its own "Great Wall" of closed and controlled media) had long portrayed the West as a poor unhappy society. Very few Russians had ever seen any type of Western media (other than maybe The Day...

There's a good Western saying. History is written by victors.

Misleading title. Nobody can deny the British rule in Hong Kong. Every Chinese student knows that history. What the new textbook does is to stop GLORIFYING the British rule.

dont you love the colonialist tone of this article?

they put "unequal treaties" in quotation marks. as if its not a fact, but a chinese claim. British taking over lands 1000s of miles away. and enslaving people to loot all the lands resources is seen as some sort of "just treatY"?

and also make it feel like Hong kong is some legitimate british territory, filled with "british people" that China is unjustly occupying. White countries 10000km away has more rights to the land then China (whos people are indistinguishable from hong kongers)

The era of colonialism is over. The faster britain realizes its an irrelevant middle power/US puppet state. not the british empire, the easier the transition will be for them.
