Cracked cue ball reveals another ball hidden inside

I...what?

but it's also a special case, being literally the only region quite like it in the world, even thought there are a lot of other similar cases.

China also owns a second similar SRA called Macau it's actually exactly the same.

Hong Kong doesn't have a first official language, it has two official languages.

The first of which, and more popularly spoken in the country, is Chinese. Why is that even a point of contention here?

The People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison is not Hong Kong's military, it's a military garrison by a part of the PLA tasked with the military protection of Hong Kong, since the PRC holds sovereignty over Hong Kong.

...and? If Hong Kong doesn't have a military but has a military force asked with the military protection of the country that would make the Garrison the closest thing to a military! Hence that is the Hong Kong military.

Again, Hong Kong Basic Law is a thing, and while China could certainly do such a thing without anyone being able to stop them, it's a bit like saying that the US could invade Fiji and absorb them as a country.

1) It's a thing because the far more powerful and sovereign government that owns Hong Kong allows it to be a thing. Hong Kong isn't sovereign because it's not a country therefore it follows the rules made by China. Hong Kong has Basic Law and you know what out weighs it? The Constitution of the Republic. It quite literally outlines the legal rights of Hong Kong to exist separate but as part of China, "One China, Two Systems". Those rights could amended at any moment and then it's "One China, One System". That whole independence thing only lasts 50 years anyway. When China got Hong Kong back off lease from the UK in the 90s, everyone kind of went "we call it China, you let them do their thing" because Hong Kong was so influenced by Britain and such a financial powerhouse of trade that China didn't want to disrupt the money flow. So give it 50 years and it may be integrated into the Republic completely, it may not, China can do what it wants in about 30 years.

2) No, that's not a thing at all. Fiji is a sovereign nation. The US could invade and take over but that's a whole different thing. The UN gets involved and all. If China decided "hey, we want Hong Kong as part of the Mainland, no Hong Kong dollar, no Basic Law, no separate passports, no one really makes much fuss because it's their right because again, they own Hong Kong.

But again, none of the Chinese laws apply in Hong Kong

The only reason Hong Kong has it's own laws is because of a law China passed so yes, China's laws do apply. If China's constitution outlawed the Internet tomorrow, it could force that amendment on all the SRAs too.

China literally leased Hong Kong to Britain way back so yes, China can do as it pleases with it and yes, since China owns it, the whole place is technically Chinese. Different passports and local laws or not. China only agreed to the two system thing for 50 years from the 1990s anyway. Here watch this video, it explains everything.
