Chinese troops, numbering 4,000, have arrived in Hong Kong to mark the transfer of sovereignty from Britain. This move is seen as a strong political gesture aimed at the world, particularly the US and England, who boycotted the festivities. It is also a message to China, emphasizing that the handover is not just the end of a 99-year lease, but a peaceful reconquest of Chinese territory. The Hong Kong population has mixed reactions, with some welcoming the soldiers while others are reminded of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. The troops will not be involved in public security, but their presence signifies the long-awaited day of change. Hong Kong is forever transformed.
