Right… that’s what the protests were over. They were still a colony and not an autonomous zone with a local government which cooperated with the national government. They were protesting to stay a colony. 100%
Edit: how about everyone stops lying and just presents good faith arguments instead of easily dismissed attempts at conflating reality with some westerncentric fantasy.

It’s good that Hong Kong is no longer a British colony.
Is it also good that citizens were brutalized for protesting?
Nope that’s bad. Cops hurting protesters is bad even when the protesters are wrong.
Less bad than the wrong protesters getting their way and Hong Kong staying a colony of the UK…but still bad, for sure.
