right now HK is governmentally separate from China (like Macau), and China is already violating those terms by extraditing people from HK and so on.

I think that's the problem, the government and part of the legislative branch is supposed to be elected but is instead appointed by China. The judges is appointed by the government, and even if the HK constitution is supposed to be valid until 2049 it doesn't really matter when the judges favours the man over the people.
