I love Hong Kong and am all for these protests. I’d prefer it be independent or still under British rule rather than go v back to the PRC.
To answer your question though, I would guess the west is quiet for the same reasons it’s quiet on Tibet and Taiwan…they don’t want to upset China. Especially now as Trump continuously threatens, propses and enacts his horribly dumb tariffs.
