Not only do they understand it they're taking steps to develop other centers.
Which will tend to mitigate if not eliminate the role HK plays now. 22ys and counting. HK will be like any other major Chinese City.
Visa requirement will probably go away for the mainlanders visiting HK and those in HK visiting the mainland.

Yes HK people wants to preserve their own system. They should obviously be allowed to do it. Which includes the longest working hours in the world and no public pension. Many work til they die. It's also their own free capitalist system that has let Mainland Chinese interests to take over parts of the HK economy. Less capitalism and more concern for their own local people and interests would do them good IMHO.
Yeah because the PRC has it much much better.

HK is China. The extradition bill was aimed to be used against criminals, what’s so wrong with that. Lawfully HKers are free to go on with their businesses, isn’t that good.
