HK leadership is on board with Big Red. Those poor people will start to disappear overnight. China is a bully.

Can someone TL;DR me on why they are protesting? Did they think when the city was transferred to China, China wouldn't do China things?

Hong Kong's capitalistic system is supposed to be safe from change for 50 years after the handover, which would be 2047. However, mainland China has gradually been eroding certain things in Hong Kong. The latest one was the proposed law that would allow extradition from Hong Kong to courts in mainland China. That was the spark that started this whole thing.

Didn’t China say they would definitely invade them then? It’s not like any other country would do anything besides sanctions.

If Hong Kong does this the Chinese will crush them like they did in Tianamen. It will be a wholesale slaughter.
