Hong Kong is independent in name only - it is totally a part of China, yet the charade continues that Hong Kong has some autonomy. The reason for this, of course, is to lure foreign investment, but it's not really working.

Lol CCP is full of shit, but if you believe they will let a foreign lawyer (mostly from UK/US) to participate in "national security" case, you are delusional.
