      China didn’t “conquer” anything. They had an agreement that would keep them independent until a certain date and that date passed. So HK now belongs to China, as was agreed.

      I was a little misinformed, it turns out HK has belonged to China since 1997, and the recent protests were just because of some policy changes that make China’s influence stronger in regards to their ability to extradite people into mainland China.
