It seems the anglosphere right has long stopped talking about Tibet but solely about Uyghurs and Hong Kong.In particular, the Hong Kong protests are widely resented as disrupting the lives of local people, and seen as pro-American traitors amongst the Overseas Chinese(I live amongst them),and they view the anglosphere “right”’s support of Hong Kong as evidence of a conspiracy to undermine China. I have even seen quite a few pro-beijing Hong Kongers go full RAHOWA against white people and egging on the tooting students to riot.

It should be noted that the initial protests initially had a lot of widespread sympathy amongst regular chinese due to the local tycoons fucking with the housing market and making it hell for the young people, but that support quickly evaporated upon protesters waving American flags and asking for help from the British and American consulates.
