If Hong Kong was self-sufficient the British would not have had to hand it back to China.
Anyway the pirate problem is way worse in mainland China than in Hong Kong.
Does anyone actually think China is going to really listen?
People outside China ask them to be more democratic... they are ignored
People within ask for it... they get squished or ignored
Even if China stopped pirating USA produced DVDs... there is plenty of non-USA sources to rip anime.
Economically HK has always been quite reliant on mainland China. One of the reasons for its prosperity is that it acted as a gateway for doing business in mainland China.
If mainland China had no control over Hong Kong how come the head of the Hong Kong government is appointed by China? They are subject China's basic law which is revised to encompass more whenever the PRC realises there is a loophole or some eventuality is not covered.
