Hong Kong democracy activists are pawns in a Western plan to checkmate rising China

How can we ask China to stop meddling with Hong Kong, when it is in fact a part of her territory?
Beijing has not backtracked on any promises it made at the handover, as widely alleged. 
Meanwhile “patriotic national education” denounced by Hong Kong’s pro-democracy activists is now proven necessary, as evidenced by protesters waving British flags and chanting for independence at the weekend.
Businesspeople understand that Hong Kong is fully supported by China under the “one country, two systems” policy. They would like to see a stable Hong Kong climbing aboard China’s fast train to prosperity, and condemned protesters who wanted to wreck that plan by forcefully occupying the financial district and downtown a couple of years ago. The social unrest instigated by student activists has not only eroded the financial competitiveness of the island, but also pulled down the ranking of several Hong Kong universities, the breeding ground for many of these protesters. 
I have relatives born in the 1990s who sympathise with the activists because of growing job insecurity, high property prices and the nuisance caused by mainland Chinese tourists flooding the island. However, these are economic issues that the Hong Kong government has to tackle; they have nothing to do with democracy. 
The majority in Hong Kong is revolted by the childish conduct of those activists advocating independence. They are pawns in a game that the West is using in its attempts to destabilise China. By offering them moral support, irresponsible Western media only encourage a situation where the protesters will eventually be imprisoned on treason charges. There is a bottom line to national security that no sovereign country can ignore, and President Xi explicitly announced that in his visit to Hong Kong last week.
