    That is the autonomy Hong Kong wanted.

    And then you start pointing fingers at China for leaving it out.

    It doesn't need to be a country to sign an FTA but countries like to negotiate to their own benefit first. That may include queuing up those who are important first. The ones which they stand to gain a lot more from.

    No one is going to make China wait. Unless they are stupid.

    The ones who can afford to not have an FTA with China will be ones like Russia, USA, India...

    This fellow's game is simple. This fellow doesn't like the 'northern' cousins or rather according to the statement , and have been making remarks about 'low quality' tourist. Then goes on to make 'entrapment' statements. Aim isn't to understand anything. The aim is to get you to blurt/admit/say something negative.

    The ones who criticise the most sometimes work for the opposite parties.

    I think amongst the many posters on here EC knows that very well.

    That is what is annoying sometimes on this forum, picking one bit of a sentence to make a point (or is it really a point?) and the whole thing go down.

    We have a new expert apparently (Blackwings) so I expect a few fun thread in the near future...

    Nope. Seen people like that. Seen things happened.
    My childhood was rather ‘interesting’.

    To Mat, thanks for the unnecessary compliment. Experts do not have that much time on their hands. So with great sadness, I cannot accept your compliment.
