> when you say 'Hong Kong' can sue, you mean its pro-Beijing government?

When I sign contracts with a company, I negotiate against the imaginary dick who replaces the gentleman I know. Agreements outlast their signers. Politics can change.

The head of Hong Kong's government is elected via a council mostly consisting of business interests with huge incentives to keep the territory's main trading partner (China) happy. Any change to this would require amending the Basic Law, which only China is allowed to do. Nothing short of a coup would change the current situation.
