How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?

I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.

      In one sense, as a key component of the UK, they already had that chance somewhere between the years of 1600-ish to 1945-ish.

        Heh, I think you’ve just pissed off Welsh/Irish/Scottish people with that sentiment.

          Ehhhhh we Scots should probably not argue too hard. Unlike the other two we joined mostly-voluntarily and were doing our own small scale empire thing beforehand as well. We were rubbish at it, but I don’t think there are sympathy points for incompetence. The Welsh and Irish definitely got dragged along wthout a say though
