the brits gave up hong kong in the 90s. as soon as that happened no one was expecting them to back the case. however, i suppose the brits were optimistic so they didnt have to have regret about losing a colony.

i think taiwan might get some defense but only cause shit is made there and the west cant pretend the chinese wont flex their power
