HK has both the worst parts of a democracy and autocracy. It's got 35/70 seats in the legislative council made up of undemocratically appointed business interests that vote to preserve their profits at the expense of HK's inhabitants. Meanwhile, the handover treaty ties the hands of any autocrat that tries to reform the city's governance to better enable wealth redistribution from its finance firms. None of the representativeness of a real democracy but all the red tape of one. All the turmoil over this past decade's been over which side of the hill HK will start sliding down, democracy or autocracy. But given that the PRC will never let HK slide towards democracy now, maybe it's best they slide towards autocracy as fast as possible. Tear up the democratic red tape protecting corrupt business interests and start redistributing its wealth to the people via autocratic means.
