Why did not the British support Hong Kong in 2020?
Is it not true that the Brits made a Treaty with China called the 'Sino-British Joint Declaration' (1997) promising the People of Hong Kong autonomy and '1 country 2 systems' and local democracy through 2047? Then you just threw them under the bus last year and betrayed them. All those bright young trusting people now in Chinese prisons/ heads shaved/ drills through their skulls to be lobotomized good Mao commies. The UK and England was a lion once (the Brits and Churchill won WWII) what happened to you guys?

Stupid to think that a small country like UK could have any way of forcing China to back down. Even the USA could not. Look what China is doing in the South China Sea; making claims to disputed territories; will the US confront them, risking a full scale military conflict?
Just how, do you think we betrayed them? In what way did we "throw them under the bus". Those intelligent enough, either got out before the Great Snatch Back, or got a different passport. Those who stayed were stupid enough to believe the Mainland's promises.
According to Chris Patton, former Guv'ner, the British Army secreted an enormous Cobalt-Salted Thermo Nuclear Device underneath the Runway just prior to our exit. If the PRC fcuk about to much it's curtains for the entire area. Just another example of true British ingenuity
The UK has offered citizenship to HK citizens but there is a limit to what can be done. Maybe they should adopt the US tactic of brawling with the Chinese, because that seems so effective.
