UK was not just being nice to give everyone's land back, its got no choice because its weak and not a fraction of what it used to be.
You think you had a choice of not giving Hong Kong back to us? lol.
Russians have no intention of taking any of our land or it wouldn't have gave them back to us in the first place.
Yes we had to give back Hong Kong back to china simply because we had signed a land lease agreement over a century ago with your emperor after we defeated China in the opium wars. Normally if it was say Russia it would have simply make this land part of its own territory like it did with many lands it seized from China which is still part of Russia to this day.Since back then it was winner takes it all. That was the mistake we made, since if we had followed your Russian ally method/strategy Hong Kong will still have been British territory today. But we signed a lease and when it expired of course we had to return it back. Had we not signed a lease and instead made it part of our territory, then i don't think we would have given it back to China, neither will China have demanded it back anyway.
You said Russian had no intention of ever taking your land?? Do you know the amount of land Rusian seize from China and those it made to secede from China like Mongolia (and xijiang which it failed due to KMT forces)??
Just because Russia later gave you back some small piece of your own vast land it seized/conquered doesn't in anyway means its a victory for you. lool Guess even @Beidou2020 can expatiate more on ll the lands Russia took from China.
