Oh yeah, the protests are absolutely nothing to do with increasing authoritarianism and overreach, increasing violations of one country, two systems and decreasing autonomy. Totally. These things are non-issues for Hong Kongers.

This is again a comment without an iota of evidence. If you have any proof of China breaking one country two system which means the provisions of "Basic Law", you can definitely take your case to competent Hong Kong courts. Regarding extradition bill which is already made dead I still need to see any evidence that it was bad, except the protest more reflected that people think Hong Kong judiciary is incompetent and works at China's whims. Here below is a brief for your perusal: "Upon receiving a request for extradition, Hong Kong’s Department of Justice first determines whether several conditions are met, including: the crime is one of the 37 listed categories and punishable by seven years or more in prison; the offence in question is a crime in both Hong Kong and the requesting jurisdiction; the offence in question is not of a political character, and the offence is not punishable by death. If the justice department determines that the conditions are met, then it goes before Hong Kong’s chief executive, who can decide whether to veto or proceed with the extradition request. At this point, the suspect can apply for judicial review, with a right to appeal in the city’s highest court. If the request proceeds, an arrest warrant is issued, after which the subject is immediately barred from leaving Hong Kong. Once the subject is arrested, the case moves to the courts, where a preliminary hearing is held. Once the court decides that there is no political motive behind the extradition request, and that there is sufficient prima facie evidence that there is a possible case, it can then make an order of committal. At this point, the suspect can appeal. With the judicial process over, the request goes back to the chief executive, who can again decide to deny the extradition request on humanitarian grounds. Here, the subject can petition the chief executive to oppose extradition. Should the chief executive decide to proceed with the extradition, an extradition order is given. At this stage, the suspect can again appeal to the courts to stop the extradition. If the suspect decides not to appeal, or if the appeal is unsuccessful, the suspect is extradited. The process could take years, which is typical of extradition proceedings."
