No, they're keeping the two systems in place. Opening up the country would destroy that.

Oh really? The two systems where a CCP chill was placed at the top of the power and where protests were violently repressed?

Talk about being "freed" of colonial rule.

They have been freed, they are reunited with China. Hong Kong still has a democracy only now that system is answerable to Beijing. Not hard to grasp.

Without the will of Hong Kong citizens. That's the reverse of freedom.

> Hong Kong still has a democracy

It's not. The CCP simply dictates what happens in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong being under the dictatorial boot of China is indeed not very difficult to grasp.

Hong Kong is still a democracy. It is the will of Hong Kong citizens to be free from British imperialism.
> Hong Kong is still a democracy.

Without fair elections? I don't think so.

As decided where?

It's decided in Hong Kong. If you bothered to care about the opinion of Hong Kongers you might know that.
