Did This Work?

No, Obviously

This continued until the morning of December 28th; when the Chinese government decided to pull a Nazi Germany and invaded just two days before the referendum was scheduled to be held.

The thing is, this wasn't 1938 and Britain immediately declared war. Most nations like the United States stayed out of it but were on the side of Britain since China was the aggressor here.

However, Britain did form a small coalition that consisted of...

  • Vietnam (I don't care if Western imperialism wins, I just need China to lose)
  • El Salvador
  • India
  • Australia
  • Philippines

FUN FACT: India, El Salvador, and the Philippines (with behind-the-scenes help from the CIA, KGB and Viet Kong) had actually teamed up against China a few decades earlier in 1965. It was called the Sino-Salvadoran War (May 17, 1965 - Dec 27, 1965). The goal of the war to liberate Tibet from Chinese control after its previous attempts to bring the issue up to the U.N. went nowhere.

The war only lasted a few months, resulting in a Chinese victory, but the Salvadorians did manage to give the Yellow Dragon a pretty good black eye, with calls for "TÍBET LIBRE!" still being a popular rallying cry in the country to this day.


The war only lasted for 3 months with a ceasefire being declared on March 3rd. What followed after was nearly 3 months of intense back n' forth negotiations.

The compromise London and Beijing settling on was something like this, with China annexing the New Territories and Lantau Island while Kawloon, Hong Kong Island, the Po Toi Islands and Lamma Island would remain in Britain's hands.

On June 30, 1997, the war finally came to an end, resulting in a coalition victory. There have been referendums held since then, but each result is Hong Kongers making it overwhelmingly clear that that they want to remain British.

In-universe, this conflict is commonly referred to as the Third Opium War, despite the fact that it has nothing to due with the previous two.

What's next?
