On the reverse side, is there anything they could send you to change your beliefs?

Ironically, President Xi was sent to a re-education camp when he was younger.

Right, but even after the big recession, it’s still significantly higher than Hong Kong, almost double.

I think looking at Macau is a good example.
They are in the same political and cultural position as Hong Kong: 1 country 2 systems, colonized by a European country, speak Cantonese, etc. but there are no protests in Macau.
Why? The economy is doing well and people there are relatively well off.
