China is certainly exceeding its privileges regarding Hong Kong, and most likely Macao, too, but it is by no means an invasion. In fact, the Hong Kong Garrison is not involved in local affairs. The big issue currently is the national security law, how it applies to and in Hong Kong and how it was created.
But it’s still not an invasion and the handover did not remove Hong Kong from European Union members as it never was a member of the EU in the first place.
Their alternate timeline, alternate spellings, and alternate grammar all come together somehow. Those are all quite impressive, but they’re not giving the impression Loggins believes.
I lived in Hong Kong in the late 80’s and again 1994-1998. And I watched Prince Charles sail away handover night and his very public non-handshake. There was no invasion.
And if the British actually cared about Hong Kong, it would have opened up democratic elections post WW2. And if the UK cared about the locally born Hong Kongese, they would have had British citizenship and the right to live in the UK.
There is zero basis in fact that a Hong Kong born person with no other ties to the UK or EU would have EU citizenship before Brexit by birth.
All that said, China has not ahem fully upheld the Joint Declaration terms nor the promised “no change for 50 years” ahem.
There is plenty to factually criticize China for. No need to make shit up.
