The Hong Kong issue is a clash between a rising China that is growing more confident, and Hong Kong’s frustrated ambitions.
Hong Kongers fiercely complain that Beijing’s political, economic and social influence is transforming Hong Kong into a typical mainland city, like Shenzhen or Shanghai, leading to a loss of its identity.
In contrast, two decades ago, most Hong Kongers believed that the mainland would gradually become more like Hong Kong under “one country, two systems”.
Against the backdrop of a rising China, Hong Kongers had been proud of their way of life, a clean and efficient government, and a liberal and diverse society, but feel frustrated deeply by China’s growing influence.
A rapidly rising China with a different political system, however, has run against the narrative of the triumph of post-Cold War western liberal democracy.
China’s model of development not only challenges today’s status quo but has also frustrated the US, Taiwan and many western countries, which explains in part why they chose to check Beijing’s influence and stand with Hong Kong protesters.

(1) HK aspiration to break free from China mainland influence even though it is economically dependent on China - is similar to UK Brexit aspiration to break free from EU influence even though it is economically dependent on EU.
(2) Both aspiration to be politically independent - go beyond logical and rational reasoning that they are willing to sacrifice personal wealth and even sacrificing their lives - and this is scary as this will prolong the struggle and protest until and unless strong force quash their struggle and aspiration in the case of HK.

The mainland Chinese own homes, go to university, have cars, eat Big Macs, own smartphones, watch 100+ channels on their HDTV, shop in malls, go to the movies, visit free museums, can stroll through a public park, and, walk down any street without concern for their personal safety.
The mainland Chinese that I know like their government; it's not perfect, but it's seems better than what they see in the west.
Many in Hong Kong live in a confined space and earn too little to break the cycle of poverty. The only country that has the ability to improve living conditions is the PRC.
The protester's are being "mishandled" by the CIA and HK triads to break away from the PRC. The CIA are trying to divide China and the Triads are petrified that their reign will end once the PRC take control. It's seems odd to me that the protesters have chosen to destroy (economically) their city to make their point.
The intolerance of the "pro-democracy" camp has many HK's concerned for their livelihoods and their personal safety.
Maybe this time they can PUT ON SOCKS OR PANTIES ON THEIR HEADS INSTEAD TO HAVE A CHANGE OF STYLE.
Expect the WORST from Hong Kong & Hong Kong People from now on . . .
The Hong Kong protesters , Anti-China dissidents , separatists that want to break Hong Kong from China to be independent nation , Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA Politicians and the majority of Hong Kong people that VOTE such Anti-China dissidents, Separatists & Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA Politicians to WIN in the District Council Election , have thought that since they have WIN GREAT VICTORY in such Election, so, they can FORCE more Demands from Hong Kong Government and China central Government . . .
WORST , such people will bound to hold more Violent Street Protest and cause more damaging Destruction in Hong Kong to FORCE Hong Kong Government and China central Government to SURRENDER to their demands , which can only anger China Government to be harsh on Hong Kong people & even cut off more economic supports to this assumed Bottomless Pit & presumed Hotbed for more Destructive Troubles . . .
It only means that in coming future, Hong Kong people will LOSE even more in Economic Growth, Prosperities, Peace & Stability , in which Hong Kong is going to end up as 3rd tier city or, even 4th tier city in China, due to that Hong Kong people have proven that they are largely Anti-China , Pro-USA or , even want to break away from China to be independent state . . . .
The Anti-China Dissidents , Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA Politicians & Separatists that want to break Hong Kong from China to be independent nation , whom have Good Supports from USA and Western Nations and are better-off, can pack up fast and emigrate to USA & other western nations . . ., when they find that there are no more Benefits for them to remain in Hong Kong . . .
However, the majority of Hong Kong population that support such Anti-China Dissidents , Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA politicians & Separatists that want to break Hong Kong from China to be independent nation, will be DUMP like USELESS RUBBISH . . .
As the old Chinese words that have lasted for many centuries are still proven Right now :
狡兔死 ，良犬烹
高鸟尽 ，良弓藏
敌国破 ，谋臣亡
TREAT the LOYALTY & SUPPORTS of Hong Kong people as DIRT CHEAP , until cannot DIRT CHEAP any more . . .
TAKE the LOYALTY & SUPPORTS of Hong Kong people FOR GRANTED , until cannot TAKE FOR GRANTED any more . . .
The majority Hong Kong population really have to WOKE UP fast and DISTINGUISH between fight for better Benefits in Hong Kong for themselves to live well and Supports for the Anti-China dissidents , separatists that want to break Hong Kong from China to be independent nation & Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA politicians to cause Harms & Destruction to the whole of China just to profit the USA & Anti-China Western nations . . .
Only by woke up from such harsh facts that this will restraint the majority Hong Kong people from being make use & dump away like Rubbish , when the Hong Kong people have no more use to Anti-China Dissidents , Separatists that want to break Hong Kong from China to be independent nation & Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA Politicians, as well as , USA & Anti-China western nations . . .
After all, just base on PURE COMMON SENSE , why must Anti-China Dissidents , Separatists that want to break Hong Kong from China to be independent nation & Pro-Democracy cum Pro-USA Politicians, as well as , western nations, like USA, CARE about the LIFE or, DEATH of Hong Kong People . . .
Just ask ourselves base on PURE COMMON SENSE Honestly to ourselves & also, to Religious and GOD that we fully believe , base on PURE COMMON SENSE Honestly . . .
[ It is just like why USA & Western Nations must care for the Life or, Death of Afghans, Kurds , Libyans, Iraqis & Syrians in many wars caused by USA & Western Nations in Middle East . . . & why must USA & Western Nations spend lots of the Tax-payer money from USA & Western Nations to look after the Afghans, Kurds , Libyans, Iraqi & Syrians that are badly affected by wars in Middle East . . . , as well as, why must USA & Western Nations allow many millions of refugees from wars in Middle East to emigrate to USA & Western Nations & to spend lots of Tax-Payer money to house & feed such Millions of Refugees in USA & Western Nation ]

The fight for democracy is choosing between a pro-Beijing or pro-Hong Kong demonstrating rioters and fighters who carried the UK and US flags?
