You are making up shit. Again.

Where are the refugees who flee HKG? Where are the demonstrations against the “occupation” of HK by the Chinese? Where are the pro-independence parties and demonstrations? Inquisitive people demand cites.

Maybe you are mistaking HK and China with some other places. Like Puerto Rico where there is, in fact, a sizable proportion of the people who are pro-independence and against the US armed forces being on their soil.
