You're actually right. That sounds like a bit of a contradiction. I think I'm just trying to be a pragmatist here. We need to acknowledge that in Hong Kong we are doing a holding operation. The travel is moving in a direction we don't like, and it is going to continue. Xi Jinping will be able to take a lot of international negative responses before he will make any response to that.
It doesn't mean we don't hold to it. We also have to be realistic and, therefore, hold on to as much as we can, rather than simply go out and ask for something that we simply cannot hold and he will not concede, with an even faster erosion of individual rights and individual freedoms in Hong Kong.
We want to keep that for as long as we can. Hopefully, things in China itself will also change.
