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.

> Not hard to grasp.

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.

Without fair elections? I don't think so.

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

They didn't hold a referendum. Honestly if you're this ignorant on Hong Kong politics then I'm wasting my time.

I know there wasn't a referendum but I asked the question to show you that citizens didn't have their say in the matter.

So it isn't a democracy.
