If Hong Kong wants to become an independent country, why does it not close its border with China?
Hong Kong closing its border with China?
You really think out of the box.
Let's look at the actual situation, even if we ignore the politics
Hong Kong's drinking water comes from mainland China
Hong Kong's daily vegetables come from mainland China
70% of Hong Kong's electricity supply comes from mainland China
Hong Kong's territorial waters are surrounded by territorial waters under the jurisdiction of mainland China, in other words, ships entering and leaving Hong Kong have to pass through mainland China's territorial waters.
The same applies to Hong Kong's aviation, as all aircraft entering and leaving Hong Kong have to pass through the airspace of mainland China
If the border is closed.
No more daily water supply
No more daily vegetables
70% of the electricity is lost
No more ships or planes in or out of Hong Kong.
Do you think there is a more bizarre idea than that?
