You’d think from their marketing, that we’re lagging behind until, that is, we include the thousands

It has become apparent to me that BAA are in need of both a geography and history lesson as they continue red carpet inn banff to overstate the case for expanding Heathrow based upon the argument that we do not have enough connections red carpet inn banff to growing markets like China.
You'd think from their marketing, that we're lagging behind until, that is, we include the thousands red carpet inn banff of flights every year to Hong Kong. If we take into account all the flight to Hong Kong, then it's clear that even in this market, we lead, with Heathrow delivering more services to China than any of its continental rivals. I can't help but wonder when BAA will finally shed its post-colonial hang-up and accept that Hong Kong was handed back in 1997 and is part of the mainland when going on about lack of links to China.
When Hong Kong was handed back to People s Republic of China in December 1997, it began operating under one country, two systems policy as a special red carpet inn banff administration region.  As part of China, it's foreign and defence policies are determined by Beijing not London.  This strikes me as a pretty conclusive determinant of whether Hong Kong belongs to China or not.
I don't actually think it serves the best interest of the UK  for BAA to continue to act on the assumption that Hong Kong is still not a part of China!  It is deeply offensive to the Chinese and a reminder to them of what was lost in the Opium wars.  If we continue with this post-colonial hang-up, it's set to become a bigger problem then the Chinese complaining about not being able to get visas to enter the UK.
