This kind logic sounds similar,they make you to focus how the village become a modern city,forgot the fact that they robbed the Hongkong from the beginning. They make you focus on Chinese government is not good, forgot the fact that doesn't matter good or bad, it's not other countries businesses, I guess they knew that,that's why they used the beautiful concept" democracy and freedom" so well when they want to invade another country, smart but Insidious。

Technically the National Security Law didn’t break the agreement between the British and China. The agreement allowed a national security law to be passed which Hong Kong delayed for several years. And don’t forget the agreement was only for 50 years so in 2047 China can do whatever it wants with Hong Kong. Surprisingly officials in Beijing have said that they are willing to extend Hong Kong’s independence beyond 2047. It seems a stable Hong Kong is still in China’s best interest.

Yes, Brits didn’t give Hong Kong democracy, and this is exactly what the Chinese government and pro establishment business folks in HK would say as part of their ongoing criticism and de-colonization rhetorics against the British. Then again these morons have ignored two factors. One, the Hong Kong society now has become far more complex and educated than before that the populace feels they deserve more say on issues than ever, and this happens in every society. Two, however much the populace wants more say is typically a function of how that populace distrusts its current government, and the current HK government has indeed given the populace no lack of reasons why it should be distrusted.
