Rejected petition Publicly support Hong Kong citizens wish to return to British rule.
Hong Kong was handed over to Beijing by the British in 1997 on the terms of agreement that its liberties will be preserved for 50 years.
Recent protests suggest that the agreement has been violated by Beijing. Online pools suggest that 90% of Hong Kong citizens would rather be under British rule.
