HK still represents a Chinese world where the CPC and Xi do not have absolute rule. It represents a Chinese world that has or had some democracy where the people could petition government for redress of grievances and where people can choose their own representatives. This cannot be permitted. They cannot have the Chinese people of mainland China think they have the freedom to have any public redress of grievances with the CPC. So we will likely see this violently crushed, because this is all about perception. As the protests continue, there's a greater and greater likelyhood CPC propaganda can no longer distort the truth. So CPC must put it down. And since HK is no longer as financially relevant and the UK is astoundingly weak by comparison to 50 years ago, we will likely see Basic Law die.
