Its no secret to anyone who has paid attention (which the Taiwanese certainly have) that China has been constantly undermining Hong Kong's guaranteed independence with both political pressure and government cronies. The fact they haven't outright invaded and smashed Hong Kong is hardly high praise. There is zero chance that the CCP will hold up their end of any bargain Taiwan makes to join it, and the situation in Hong Kong proves it.
