How difficult is it for someone to agree with me?

It is true that there is nothing stopping HU from joining OW. But HX will make it complicated.

Beside - having a common enemy does not mean they can co-exist peacefully. For example, U.S. and U.S.S.R (Russia) during WWII, Cold War, and now.

But there is enough evidence to show CX does not want any competitions in HKG. At the least, CX/KA wants to be the king in HKG.

So HX will be the obstacle for HU to join OW.

Actually, it will be impossible as the U.K. Government, as well as the EU, will not allow it due to competition issue.
