It would be more believable if you could recite a source that is not from a UK based organization.
From everything I’ve seen on TV people did not want to belong to a Communist country, and were fearful. The intellectuals were fleeing/fled the country, and the young have been protesting as China cracks down on their freedoms/rights (they had to move trools into a garrison inside of Hong Kong over the law changes/protests).
This was from watching American news, so it may have just been that slant colored the news being show, you can never tell, but the videos I saw seemed straightforward.
On a tangent, I’m going to “bow out” of further replies. I’ve been at this for coming up on 24 hours now, and am tired of everyone wanting their “pound of flesh”, and have said pretty much everything I can say. No disrespect meant to you, just thing the conversation has reached a termination point. Take care.
The Hong Kongers were given assurance to have “one country, two system” deal to assuage their concerns before the handover to China (of course that doesn’t exactly goes according to plan because CCP being CCP, but that’s another different topic). If Falklands were to be given something similar, then that might assuage the Falklanders. However, it’s unlikely since they unilaterally elected to remain with UK. How is Argentina going to deal with English-speaking Falklanders, whose traditions and customs still identify with the British? Argentines love to chest-thump about “taking back” Falklands but never think about what will happen next. As you said, it is exactly human failings. Argentina could not even get their things together and now they want to bring their own mess to somewhere else.
