HMY Britannia with a flotilla of Royal Navy warships following the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997 [1400x1050]

Yes because getting a nation high on drugs and going to war only because the brits didn’t want to pay for trade(not even fair trade) and signing an 99 year + thousand and thousands of tons of sliver and gold contract after looting the Chinese forbidden city and all palaces, taking everything including the emperor’s puppies, burning down thousands years old artifacts because they can’t take them back to Britain. Ships off Hongkong people to North America to build railway/mines and work them to death or literally blow up the tunnel they dug so the business owner doesn’t pay the workers. The Brits are clearly so much better than the Chinese who lifted over half of the Chinese population since 1970(UN standard for poverty), have the longest highest most consistent GDP growth, one of the longest most consistent growth in life expectancy and consistent descending birth fatality rates. The Nation that builds hospitals, schools, roads, ports, railway among other infrastructure in Africa is clearly worse then the almighty Britain who brings western democracy and freedom to Middle East and Africa by setting up military bases and participates NATO operations, because assassinating African leaders and sacrificing civilian is so democratic and free. People can’t complain about basic human rights when they are bomb to death eh?
