If it’s human rights you’re worried about, then Vietnam is also communist and what India is doing in Kashmir is worse than Hong Kong’s situation.

It’s definitely about the economy. Just look at Macau.

There are no protests there. They were also a former Westen colony and now under 1 country, 2 systems like Hong Kong.

The only difference is their GDP per capita is almost twice that of Hong Kong’s.

Samsung just announced they are moving some production back to China. Mainly ODM work for their lower end devices due to the cost.

I would say China is more like a modern day colonial America, with their own version of “manifest destiny” and treating the Uyghurs like how Native Americans were treated, by putting them into reservations and boarding schools [1] to and forcing them to assimilate.
