Shenzhen, China February 21st, 1976 The truck rumbled on into the darkness with its headlights off so as not to alert a soul; its path was guided only by a small gas-powered lantern, which the man in the passenger seat hung out the window. Under the rumble of the engine, one could hear...

Une ville français en Chine – Broadcast by Antenne 2, 31 December 1996 Good morning and hello to everyone watching. As France prepares for yet another new year, about 6 and half million of us are preparing not only for a new year, but for a new, non-French future. These 6.5 million Frenchmen...

Most, if not all Tiananmen Square AHs feature China transitioning into either a fledgling liberal democracy or a Russia-like kleptocracy. This time, I would like to try a whole different approach to this PoD...

I came across a book titled "Ever the Diplomat: Confessions of a Foreign Office Mandarin" written by Sherard Cowper-Coles and printed in 2012. He had been the British ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Israel and Afghanistan in the 2000s, and most relevant to this discussion, the head of the Hong Kong...

In the years leading up to the First Opium War, a debate occurred within the Qing government over how the opium problem should be addressed, with one side arguing for its legalization (so that the state could tax it and thus give some much needed cash to the treasury) and another for harsher...

This is the map of modern Cantonia except eastern side of former Eastern Guangdong region pre-1930s.

This is the fictional country outlook "Hong Yut Wan" (1919-1982)

Warning! This might be a prologue while it is [still] under construction. #DanishKorea - "Danish Korea" #DanishFarEast - "Danish Far East" So, I would show to you mates what does Side B mean, through a map I edited seen below: So, if not only the Danish would have colonised the whole Korean...

The challenge here is transforming Hong Kong from a British territory to an American Protectorate with a POD after 1945. Good Luck!

With a POD no earlier than 1841 when the British came into control of Hong Kong, have modern day Hong Kong be a completely independent country of the UK and Communist China as it's own city state.

Between 1898 and 1945 Guangzhouwan, part of the modern city of Zhanjiang, was ruled by the French on a 99 year lease. In 1945 the French agreed to return it to the Nationalists rather than reoccupy it for the remaining 42 years. Say they don't do that, and like Britain they hold out for the...

The UK government entertained the idea of resettling 5.5 million Hong Kongers in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The site chosen was Magilligan. Apparently the idea was these likely pro-Unionist Chinese would secure Ulster for the UK. Even if a fraction of this number arrived, they would...

All the protests in Hong Kong got me thinking, what if Britain never signed the 99 year lease in 1898? Or voided it when the Communists took over?

26 January, 1841 As the Union Jack was raised on the top of a hill, several soldiers, sailors, and officers looked on in silent approval. Ever since war broke out between Britain and China over the addictive drug Opium, the men of the British fleet had been sailing for what felt like forever...

In 1997, Hong Kong was supposed to be given back to China from the UK. However, as we all know, that didn't happen. The Prime Minister said that it was something about the China they made the agreement with no longer existing when the transition was meant to happen. They made the agreement with...

OTL, the 1967 Riots in Hong Kong was severe in its own right. One outspoken critic of the Cultural Revolution, Lam Bun, was killed in an arsonist attack. However, as the leftist rioters had the support of Mao Zedong, things could have gone worse. So what if the Hong Kong leftists went more...

So doing a little reading about the Crisis and some of the missiles got close to Taiwan (One report i read said one missile went 19 metres over the capital) So what happens if Taiwan gets hit by a missile and retaliates, how much could things escalate? Could it lead to a war between the US...

“Give a guy a gun he think he’s Superman. Give him two and he thinks he’s God.” In 1990 John Woo was pretty much finished with Hong Kong even if he didn’t know it. He was getting calls from Hollywood; the heroic bloodshed genre he had helped create was becoming stale, his relationship with...
