Question: what are the chances that Communist China, fresh from forcing the Nationalists off the mainland and into Taimwanese "exile", mis-calculates and atacks Hong Kong and Macau, attempting to remove "imperialist stains to our native soil"? Britain successfully defends its territory from the enfeebled peasant's army, and then never recogonizes the People's republic of China, but maintains diplomatic relations with the Republic of China instead. In 1997, when it comes time for the sovereignty hand-over of Hong Kong, Britain turns it over to the "rightful, legitimate government of the Chinese people", the Taiwanese.
