Hong Kongball, officially Milk Teaball Hong Kong Special Administrative Regionball of Chinaball (sometimes abbreviated to as HKball or HKSARball), also known as Xianggangball is a semi-independent state and a quasi-constitutional "democracy" that is a special administrative region (or SAR) of Chinaball located in both East and Southeast Asia, along with its sibling Macauball. It is bordered by Shenzhenball to the North, the South China Sea to the South and East, and Macauball to the West across a small strip of the Sea. The state is politically divided into 18 egg-tarts districts (even though it is a city-state, its districts can be described as cities. e.g. Kowloon City) It has a total area of 1,106 square kilometers, making it somewhat the 168th largest state in the world. As of 2016, it maintains a population of about 7.347 million inhabitants, but due to the BN(O) extension, its population might drop to 4.347 million or even more if 3 million BN(O) passport holders decided to move out.
Due to being part of Chinaball, Hong Kongball cannot into international organisationballs.
Like Polandball, Hong Kongball is naive. It is sometimes seen as depressed due to the inner conflict that it has had since July 1, 1997. Chinaball has tried to intervene, but Hong Kongball often ignores it and rejects it.
Hong Kongball is often seen as one of the 4 Asian Tigers, aka the one of the 4 most developed Asian nations (The other three are South Koreaball, Taiwanball, and Tringapore and it has the same status with New York and its nephew London.
Its regional day is July 1. Ever since 1997, it takes a holiday to either celebrate its return to Chinaball.
Its future remains uncertain. Hong Kongball is no longer a British Overseas territory, having been returned to Chinaball in 1997. It has been falsely theorized that Hong Kongball is still legally part of UKball as the British army once returned to its clay in late-2016.
Citizens born before 1997 can claim legal citizenship in UKball due to an agreement between UKball and Chinaball.
History
Neolithic Period times
Hong Kong was born as happy fishing 1ball, but first known to have been occupied by other caveballs during the Neolithic period, about 6,000 years ago. However, in 2003, stone tools were excavated at the Wong Tei Tung archaeological site, in which optical luminescence testing showed the date to be between 35,000 and 39,000 years ago. Early 1balls were semi-coastal people who migrated from inland and brought knowledge of rice cultivation.
Qinball Anschlussed Hong Kongball area into Chinaball in 214 BCE, after Qin campaign against the Yue tribes conquering the indigenous Baiyue. The region was consolidated under the Nanyue kingdom (a predecessor state of Vietnam) after the Qin collapse, and recaptured by Chinaball after the Han conquest.
During the Mongol conquest of Chinaball in the 13th century, the Southern Song court was briefly located in modern-day Kowloon City (the Sung Wong Toi site) before its final defeat in 1279 Battle of Yamen. By the end of the Yuan dynasty, seven large families had settled in the region and owned most of the land. Settlers from nearby provinces migrated to Kowloon throughout Mingball.
Opium War (1841 - 1898)
In the early 19th century, UKball got very interested in tea and asked Qingball to trade for tea in exchange for silver. Qingball agreed and sold tea to UKball, and as a result UKball is running out of silver to pay for tea, which UKball was getting addicted to. So, UKball smuggled opium into Qingball in exchange for silver from locals which is then used to pay for tea. Qingball found out and got very angry, and declared war on UKball twice, which Qingball lost twice.
It seceded Hong Kong Island to Qingball in the First Opium War through the Treaty of Nanjing, and seceded the Kowloon Peninsula in the Second Opium War using the Treaty of Beijing, as well as paying a lot of money and other treaties that made Qingball weaker and weaker.
In 1898, UKball asked Qingball to also cede New Territory (The rest of Hong Kong) to UKball. UKball had successfully controlled the entire Hong Kong clay, and Qingball reluctantly agreed as it was getting weaker, near the edge of death, and didn't want to fight UKball.Therefore, UKball got full control of the region for 99 years, which was, until 1997.
Japanese Occupation (1941 - 1945)
On December 8, 1941, Japanese Empireball invaded and raped British Hong Kongball. By December 25, 1941, Japanese Empireball controlled the entire British colony.
UKball was busy fighting Nazi Germanyball, so UKball and the Allies didn't send a lot of troops to defend British Hong Kongball. UKball finally regained control of the region in 1945 when the Japanese Empireball surrendered to the Allied Powers.
In 1967, from the inspiration of its sibling Portuguese Macauball's 12-3 incident that made it closer to the Chinese, and the cultural revolution from Chinaball that made British Hong Kongball into thinking that communism and Maoism are better instead of colonialism, it rebelled against UKball's rule to try and become part of the PRC.
There were multiple riots between May and December, and some radical protesters went as far as planting bombs (called "pineapples" locally), resulting in 51 dead, 832 injured, 1936 protesters prosecuted and even more arrested by the end of the riots. The riots, however, failed, and British Hong Kongball remained a British colony until 1997. At that time, Hong Kong became the 'Four Asian Tigers' and was 'Pearl of Asia'. Now Hong Kong was feel pretty nostalgie about that time because even richer that Tringapore.
Handover to China (1997)
In 1997, it was returned to PRCball. This ended its British imperialist colonial times and its people automatically became Chinese citizens. This led to it being incredibly mental to this day. However, PRCball (who was under Jiang Zemin's rule) wanted it to have a chance to settle better, so it gave it the role of Special Administrative Region, which will last for 50 years.
Unfortunately, Hong Kongball was met 1997 Asian financial crisis. Although Hong Kongball used it's money to defate Soros. Sadness that Hong Kongball 's victory is totally Pyrrhic victory and create large amount of underwater. But not the worst, Sars virues had come to Hong Kong in 2003 and many people died. It's bad enconmy was became worst that ever. It debt alot. Therefore Hong Kongball opened its market to let China Tourist into and buy things to save it's wallet. It succesfully and create back many working. But it doesn't save too many because Hong Kongball realised that they bought too many things like things like Milk Powder so locals cannot own it. Meanwhile, Chinaball began to rise its economy,in 2008,its GDP per capita rise to 42 thousand dollar,which rose by 14 thousand dollar since 1997 (28 thousand dollar)
Hong Kong's life under Chinese rule is incredibly controversial. The younger generation in Hong Kongball wanted more tea more freedom, but the older generation was content. This led to a lot of drama which caused protests known as "Umbrella Revolutions".
Aftermath
In June 2015, after years of protests against the reform measures from Chinaball, Hong Kongball accepts the measures made by Chinaball.
In 2018 a small political localist party, the Hong Kong National Party, that campaigned for Hong Kongball independence was banned by politicians.
Anti-extradition protests/anti-government protests (2019 April- now)
In March 2019, Hong Kongball had millions of violent rioters on the street against an extradition bill which would send Hong Kongers who commit crimes outside of Hong Kong to Chinaball. They mainly wanted 5 things: Full withdrawal of the extradition bill, amnesty for arrested protesters, dual universal suffrage(The Legislative Council and the Chief Executive), a commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality, and retracting the classification of protesters as rioters.
The protests started as peaceful ones, but as time passed, both protesters and police gradually became more violent. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Carrie Lam suspended the bill. The law was abolished, but the murderer who started it all was let go because there were no laws to keep him in custody. It's now still free in Hong Kong.
The protesters' remaining requests, however, were not answered due to some of the requests needing huge reforms and might cause internal disputes that may lead to another civil war. Due to this, they asked for international help. Many democratic countries such as Germanyball, Japanball, Taiwanball, and USAball supported the protests, but USAball cared more about making money.
In late May, 2020, Hong Kongball's adopted sibling USAball claimed that Hong Kongball is no longer autonomous from Chinaball because of a new "national security law".
Since July 2020, in response to the National Security Law, UKball sheltered 3 million Dissident Hongkongers by allowing Hongkongers who have a BN(O) passport to have easier ways to migrate to UKball and easier venues to British citizenship. Hong Kongball's adoptive sibling Australiaball also allowed Hongkongers an easier way to migrate, but that made the tension between Australiaball and Chinaball higher. However, all this made Hong Kongball's inner conflict larger.
Personality
Hong Kongball has a somewhat British-like attitude. It is mostly seen sipping milk tea due to its addiction to it. A bit hyperactive due to its constant caffeine overdose. It is quite nice to other countryballs. When it sees something that it doesn't like, it walks away. Its favorite dim sum is shu mai, egg tarts, pineapple buns and curry fishballs
Unlike most countryballs, Hong Kongball does not speak English in a broken way. Although it does speak perfect English, it likes to add a bit of slang or profanity to make the language more unique. You need to know a bit of Cantonese profanity(like diu (屌/𨳒)) if you want to understand the true essence of the dialect of the Cantonese language.
