It was both. Police cracked down on violent protestors, and the protestors gave up as well. The pro-colonization side lost and now most people support the status quo. Capitaliats are still upset though.
The west does indeed try to force violence into protests they back, yep! Arming and radicalizing people against socialist governments is a tried and true tactic of the west.
And please tell me, how can you radicalise an entire people to the point where they are ready to put their lives on the line for the ideals you presented them with? Couldn’t it be that these people share those same ideals while rejecting the ones being forcefully placed on themselves by what they see as a dictatorship? No, of course not, they are just all stupid and brainwashed I’m sure will be your answer. More projecting from someone who, as I already said, should have worked in a cinema
It was never “an entire people.” The rioters were a minority of the population, with many people (and many more now) accepting inclusion into China and no longer being a colony. Those that did riot were not “brainwashed,” as brainwashing doesn’t exist, but instead were largely under the belief that they benefited from the colonial system (or in many cases truly did). The west colluded with elites in Hong Kong to orchestrate these riots and create a picture of a city fighting to remain under British colonial rule, but in actuality the protests died down and now people generally are happier being folded into China.
So 1.7 million people protesting against the Chinese government are a minority of the population? Your delusion is reaching unseen boundaries, please tell me more about how peaceful and respectful of minorities is the Chinese government
Hong Kong has a population of 7.5 million. 1.7 million is definitionally a minority among the 7.5 million, and again, the majority of people are happy to no longer be colonized by England. I know hating democracy and loving colonization is your thing, though, so your logic checks out for why you’d be so confused.

Ah yes, the always useful “violent protestors”. How convenient there’s always some in all movements against China

Here’s a good list of sources on the Hong Kong protests and the far-right western influence on them.
