I understand this is a sensitive topic for anglophiles byut there have been 0 deaths in hong kong from law and order enforcement actions by the central government, I don't understand the bombing reference. And no I didn't move to the UK, I moved to Australia.
I would have hoped that by now 'moving towards democracy' in this context simply means continuation and or/initialization of western imperialism. 2001-onward proves it concretely. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and the color revolutions in Bolivia, Ukraine, Georgia etc...NONE of these countries are better off now than they were pre-'democracy'.
Hong Kong was never more democratic than it was post-handover, where it gained a new level of autonomy under beijing so 'moving towards democracy' in this context simply means moving back under foreign rule. It doesn't matter anyway, the majority of hong kongs population want no part of this continuation of western imperialism in east asia. Under China hong kong will have many more avenues opened to it, see the worlds largest free trade bloc about to be signed in 2 days.
Hong Kong was moving towards democracy, which is what the CCP is trying to crush.
