HK being HK is no damage to "PRC face". HK being vocal about Democratic values has been accepted since handover. Mainland has accepted this situation for 50 years. There's still just under 30 years to go to end the deal. All this drama is premature. Also... The world, and China has grown alot since "face" has been excuses for military intervention. China is no.1 world economy with still a lot of bridges to build if they are surpass the west in influence. Mindless violence won't help build any bridges.
