The Brits gave up Hong Kong to an evil totalitarian regime. Hong Kong is lost. The CCP is too powerful to cast off, at least not anytime soon, so the Hong Kongers are fucked. It's best for them to GTFO, and it's best for everyone else to stay out of that authoritarian hellhole. But hey, at least the streets are safe from petty criminals, amirite?
