It's an island that China was forced to turn over essentially at gunpoint to a country using their navy to enforce the ongoing sale of destructive drugs to the Chinese population and the enrichment of the British drug dealers. The whole foundation of it was dishonorable, and as tensions started rising with the US, I think concerns over more foreign interference and influence in Hong Kong were rising. I don't like it and I disagree with it, but at least I understand it.
