ETA: They didn't try this shite while Obama was president. Wonder why they're doing it now? HK has been independent for decades.
Hong Kong was released as a territory by Great Britain and became a “Special Administrative Region” of China in 1997. Technically, they’ve never been independent. For all official purposes, Hong Kong is a part of China. However, they have been traditionally allowed more freedom than mainland China.
While I would love to see HK become totally independent, this is a much different situation that if they were already free and China was trying to usurp them.
PS. Neither Obama or Trump had anything to do with any of this.
