The fate of HK was sealed back in 1997. Xi wants control and he has the biggest stick so he will get it. In my opinion, the protests will not be allowed to escalate to previous levels.
1984 actually, when Thatcher decided to hand HK back (not that she had much choice) without granting UK passports to all.
