D'oh, for some reason I thought it was more of an analog like Taiwan.

So basically, they could say "No", but really there's nothing they can do

The Hong Kong government wouldn't say "No" because they're not elected by the mass population of Hong Kong but appointed in a manner controlled by China (through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_Committee).
