Also, they do realize that fallout is a thing right? If Mainland China gets nuked, it’s overwhelming likely that radiation will waft over to Hong Kong and render it unlivable as well, same with Macau and their precious Taiwan. Guessing Hong Kong autonomy will be undermined in the process of turning it into a radioactive hellscape. Especially since Shenzhen, one of the biggest PRC cities, an economic centre (Huawei, Tencent, and TikTok are all based there), and would most likely be a target, is literally right next to Hong Kong. You can literally walk from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and back, and people do.
