keesje, it's wrong to compare Hong Kong with the Falklands. UK was ceded some of the territory in perpetuity at the time of the Opium Wars. We then leased further land for 100 years. It wasn't feasible to carry on with HK whilst handing the leased land back. PS Kirchner does remind me of a brunette Miss Piggy !
