Hong Kong - what is the solution?

Having been colonised by the British Empire 150+ years ago, and thus raised in a western ‘culture’, the majority of Hong Kongers (57% vs 41% according to these elections) clearly prefer western neoliberal rule, to the prospect of living under China’s system. (And, from what I've seen of the protests, it seems that many are discriminatory, and sometimes extremely violent, towards mainlanders; and openly supportive of far-right western leaders, like Trump).

The US/UK and allies have long been backing the 'pro-democracy', anti-mainland China movement in Hong Kong, via NED funding, and now via the passing of the 'Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act', in US Congress.

To what extent this effort has fueled the movement, and the fear of reintegration with China, is impossible to know. But for sure, the west has a long track record of engineering this kind of thing - and it does seem odd that they hate mainland China so much, but love the west, despite the fact that it is the west that has imposed an exploitative, neoliberal system on them which has resulted in the same kind of grievances there, as in any other neoliberal state - for example, there is only 50% homeownership, (compared to 90% in China).

Obviously, western foreign policy has very little to do with protecting and advancing human rights - any country not under the control of western capitalists, is a target for regime change, for purposes of exploitation and profiteering. Ultimately, they'd like to see the Chinese government toppled, just like they do the Russian government, the Iranian government, the Venezuelan government, etc, so that neoliberal puppet governments can be installed, to privatize resources, for the benefit of western corporations.

They are simply using Hong Kongers in their hybrid war against China, (and to protect their financial interests in Hong Kong itself).

What is the solution here?

There is surely no possibility that China will ever allow self-determination. This will enable the continuation and expansion of western influence over the islands.

So, it seems likely that what will happen is that the west will continue to meddle, in support of the 'pro-democracy' movement, and the situation will become increasingly tense, between east and west - between nuclear armed powers.

Surely the only peaceful solution is for the west to offer full citizenship rights to all Hong Kongers who oppose reintegration with China, so that they have the option of re-locating to the west?

In my view, this is what we should be demanding from our governments. We should surely NOT be demanding that they interfere in Hong Kong/Chinese affairs even more than they already are - we must strongly oppose this, because it potentially puts us on a path to catastrophe.
