Let’s hear why you think that’s a relevant comparison
It is only relevant in that the Brits were outsiders injecting themselves into China's business as some here seem to want the US to do. They went so far as to basically colonize Hong Kong yet they saw no reason to fight over the surrending of the area once their lease was up.
Why should we see any reason to defend Taiwan? They are not a colony of the US. They don't pay us anything.

Britain didn't go to the mat on Hong Kong because they couldn't hold it and they knew that. Big difference from not wanting to.

I don't advocate any military action on behalf of Taiwan--we have nothing to gain by doing so. I just don't think it is comparable to the Hong Kong issue--Britain was and still is weak and had no choice. We are not, and do.
