Not sure what part you think is a false flag. Hong Kong has a history of protests against China. That would basically have been HK government admitting that Chinese law supersedes HK law.

Could you imagine the UK passing a law that Brussels has jurisdiction over UK citizens? The brexiters would go absolutely nuts. HK has a history of resisting Chinese attempts to impose One China on them.

This is already the case, right? Per Wikipedia:

"A regulation is a legal act of the European Union that becomes immediately enforceable as law in all member states simultaneously."

Yeah. But, in OP’s defense, Brexiteers have already gone nuts as well.
