Why is it that the British and French are the only 2 countries that still have colonial empires?

Because they have overseas territories?

So does Australia, China, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the USA.

Federal Republic of North Sea-North Atlantic union with Greenland and the Faroes having more voting power 😳

Denmark-wise, isn't Greenland having some sort of "I have loads of resources that many want to buy but it's a tough moral decision etc etc" issue rn?

Hey fun fact Sweden had an overseas territory called Saint Barthélemy. In 1878 we sold it to France but its old Swedish roots still cling to the island as its capital, Gustavia, is named after Gustav III of Sweden. So I guess that's when our “empire” officially ended :)

No why would there be a moral issue?

Greenland lacks an educated and specialised workforce in many non-key industries and areas which tend to be hogged up Danes such as teachers, public administration etc
If Greenland wants independence they have to sort out their workforce as well creating a diverse economy

In terms of resources they would have to put radically much effort into increasing their mining industry even with investments from foreign nations/businesses
The issue is that being dependent on a limited supply of resources that is environmentally damaging to extract isn't a good idea

Norway's reliance on oil has been great economic boost but once that supply is up/the world has become greener they will have to diversify their economy to avoid a massive dive
Same would apply for Greenland if they go down this path

Greenland also gets a lot of money from tourism
It is imo a safer bet to expand the service sector like so many industrial nations have done already as a first step towards independence

Every time I see HK mention I think of my Cantonese mates’ fury if you call them Chinese in any matter xD

XD they are Chinese, they should hate the CCP not their whole identity.

In an ideal world they’d have no reason to reject being Chinese, shame the PRC f*cked that up.

Many of them use to believe they’re different subgroup of Chinese ethnicities. I mean if I recall it correctly Chinese is nationality, not ethnicity. Correct me if I’m wrong. So in this case – yes, but then it hurts their autonomous joy

You are correct, chinese is a nationality, the major ethnic group (the one that we refer as "chinese") is the Han group. Fun fact, it's also the largest ethnic group of humanity.

I'm guilty of conflating the two (Han and Chinese) because that's what the CCP wants.

They've influenced me, oh God.
