Terrible analogy. Even if you ignore the particular "special right" Hong Kong was arguing for (like, the right not to be extradited and disappeared for disagreeing with the government), it's still part of an existing system and series of agreements that are now being violated. It's closer to if the UK tried to disband the Scottish parliament, because those damn Scots get special privileges and still protest and whine all day about secession, and then started moving troops in and brutalizing student protesters. And, yes, everyone here would side with Scotland over the UK. The PRC needs to get better propaganda.
