This situation reminds me of the TSA in action. You see, they can't back down when they are wrong. TSA officers can never back down, no matter how wrong they are, because backing down means giving up authority, and authority is all they have in this world. Their mission is bullshit, and their mandate is as hazy as Muellers memory of his investigation.
China is like that, except they also have generations of brainwashing at this point. That's why they must limit free speech, and act harshly in the face of criticism. It's quite honestly the only power they have.
China is a handyman who owns nothing but one hammer, and Hong Kong is
an annoying protruding nail. They either hammer that nail, or give up
being a handyman. The Chinese leadership would see the world in
flames, and bodies stacked like mountains, before they give up power.
It's all they have.
