Beijing also detained the head of Interpol who has not been seen since (a Chinese citizen). Link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/the-chinese-head...

Who says the UN (whose strongholds of power largely lie in Anglo and European countries) should have any say over what China does?

China is literally a permanent member of the Security Council. They are one of the UN strongholds of power in every possible sense.

Because China wanted to be part of the UN. If they don't want the UN to have any saying in their matters they should leave and face the consequences. I don't know if this says more about China or the UN, to be honest.
Not necessarily. Beijing is violating an agreement lodged with the UN.
The protesters just need to get the population in a G7 country pissed off enough to turn this bill into an international issue, thereby increasing the cost of its introduction to Beijing.
