relatively speaking, employment opportunities will be increased common practice in the relationship
in Britain's GEC),
between a colony and its overlord state.
Some people here in Hong Kong are changing shades like chameleons. And we pity their children. Being ignorant and dishonourable is both sad and disgusting.
Should fortune take our feelings into Your Majesty's thoughts, we believe you will not only have compassion for them, but will also give your aid as you are able to and where it is needed. We ask that Your Majesty seriously consider the fact that the majority in Hong Kong believe that Hong Kong does not need nuclear power, and that the British Government would be unwise to support GEC's nuclear power deal. There was a similar situation in 1842, and the then British Government's backing the Opium War has caused much regret.
