As far as I'm concerned, what matters is what the people of Hong Kong want.
The fact that the British grabbed it from a backward feudal state ~180 years ago is utterly irrelevant to me.

As to legitimacy, HK is part of China and shouldn't even strive for independence or even autonomy because it's just a Chinese island that was grabbed by a foreign military force and that's how the whole story started in the first place.
