二战刚刚结束，中英之间即为战后香港的归属问题发生了一场争端，从表面上看，它是由一个含义不明确的措辞引起的，但它实际上却是英国为在战后重建远东殖民体系的必然结果。在中英双方紧张对峙时，美国方面的态度显得愈加重要。由于美国方面态度的转变，使天平明显地朝有利于英国方面倾斜。为此，中国方面不得不进行一些妥协。但这种妥协是有条件的、有限的。在涉及主权问题时，态度仍是强硬的。正是这种强硬妥协的结果，才使哈考特以双重身份在受降书上签字。 Just as World War II ended, there was a dispute between China and Britain over the ownership of Hong Kong after the war. On the surface, it was caused by a vague wording, but actually it was Britain’s plan to rebuild itself after the war The inevitable result of the Far East colonial system. The attitude of the United States has become even more important in the face of intense tension between China and Britain. Due to the change of attitude on the part of the United States, the balance has obviously been tilted in favor of the United Kingdom. To this end, China has had to make some compromises. However, such compromises are conditional and limited. When it comes to the issue of sovereignty, the attitude is still tough. It was this result of this hard-line compromise that allowed Harcourt to sign the book on a double basis.
