Time has proved that not to be the case and I guess Hong Kong just withers and is subsumed into the mainland while a brain drain of those that can leave continues.

Don’t be indifferent to other peoples suffering. The people of Hong Kong don’t deserve what is happening to them. They had their democratic rights stolen from them.
