How long has it been since Hong Kong was turned back over to the control of Mainland China? About 15 years? I really thought the sorry Communists would've totally laid down the hammer several years ago, but they exercised more patience and restraint than I would've imagined.

I think maybe one reason they have held off is because the rest of the world was aware of how much Hong Kong had thrived under British rule. I guess they couldn't just go in overnight and turn a democratic country with a thriving economy upside down.

The Chinese think differently then we do. We think in terms of the next election. The Chinese think in terms of generations.
