I think it's fair to say the 80s riots were 'riots against the economic policies of the current administration, which was British.'
Given that the 1967 riots were explicitly CCP-supported, they've a clearer line to regime change as a goal.
And given the CCP was somewhat busy in the late 70s and early 80s rendering Mao's excesses anathema [0], it's unlikely they saw formenting revolution in Hong Kong as a priority.
