Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% :Patten recalled at the launch of his new book, that the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" was submitted to the United Nations for registration and archiving in 1985, and the "one country, two systems" principle mentioned there should have guaranteed Hong Kong's "high degree of autonomy," its original way of life, freedom, and the rule of law.
53% : After World War II, due to the rise of the decolonisation movement, colonies could eventually become independent under the supervision of the United Nations.
48% :Hans Yeung, a historian, recently posted on the "Citizens of Our Times Learning Hub (COOTL)" that after the CCP replaced the Republic of China in the United Nations in 1971, it was convenient for Hong Kong and Macau to be removed from the "United Nations list of Non-Self Governing Territories" in 1972 to ensure that the two places do not become independent.
41% : In his letter to the United Nations, the then representative of the CCP, Huang Hua (黃華), did not specify that "Hong Kong and Macao are not colonies," but only said that "they are not colonies in the general sense."
