1:36 The opium trade, which should have been mentioned, was the issues that led to the Opium Wars. The mass introduction of opium from the British East India Company (BEIC) was illegal according to Qing law, but was still accepted by Chinese merchants due to it being a lucrative trade product despite it being an illicit and illegal drug. The thing about BEIC opium was that it was better quality than domestic versions and became highly prized. This led to Qing officials to begin taking action and they confiscated the opium found that British merchants were importing and burned it all. British merchants were able to lobby their government to get compensation (opium is also illegal in Britain, so this was very hypocritical) and the British sent their navy and after failed negotiations, war occurred. The rest of course is history. 4:38 Most likely, Hong Kong will have a similar fate as Shanghai or Tianjin and become some form of municipality region that has direct control from the central government.

Well great job, but you missed a whole bunch of stuff. 2003 SARS which HK took really badly, the leader of the Chinese revolution against the dynasty was set up in Hong Kong periodically, and you mentioned to rapid industrialization, but not the change from factories to pretty much only finance and business, becuase even in 2001 the tertiary industry was already 85.6% of the GDP in HK, with the rest being the secondary industry, unless you want to count the 0.1% GDP taken by the primary industry. And that change just never stopped. Also, I don't know if the major amount of protest happened yet when you made this video, but a bunch of protests happens as the protesters claim HK was being taken over by China by a few laws implemented. And then covid came, which you wouldn't have known. Anyway, great video, just mentioning a few things you missed.
