If Weihai hadn't been taken back in 1960s, would it have become Hong Kong in the north of China?

I have studied this problem before.

It was discussed for a long time.

The conclusion is impossible.

1 geographical location. That's all that matters. Needless to say, Hong Kong is the largest port in Asia. Weihai's geographical location allows trade with Korea and Japan at most. There are also Yantai and Qingdao. Therefore, even if Weihai is in the hands of Britain, it is impossible to develop like Hong Kong. There are still many places in Britain, such as Africa, which have not developed. Geographical location determines.

2 interest issues. Hong Kong came from Britain's long-planned Opium War. So we can't just give it back to China. Weihai was only obtained by political means. From the beginning, it was only used as a military port. After World War I, Britain went downhill and could not control its interests in the Far East at all. There is no suspense in the return of Weihai.

3 political issues. In addition to Weihai, there were many rentals at that time. Except Hongkong and Macau, they all belong to the inland areas of China. No government will sit idly by. Will take action to take it back
