The majority of residents of Hong Kong wish to remain a part of China, but desire some autonomy from Beijing. Americans in Boston, New York or Chicago would say the same about their relationship to Washington, on the whole.
If you look into the ideological character of the protestors - who have been basically irrelevant for, what, half a decade now? - they were exactly the sort of people I would hope we all stand against: annoying upper-middle-class Redditor bros dressing up like pepe the frog and asking Trump to save them from the evil Communists. They’re right-wing nutjobs that Western media pretends have a point because it’s convenient for the joint foreign policy agenda of both Capitalist parties.
