Wonder how many holds similar view about NSL: CCP/Xi fundamentally believe their own method, and also they need to step in and "help" HK, otherwise HK will be destroyed/infiltrated. Their intention is mostly on the "helping" HK side, not hurting it. This to me is the typical "strong-arm" parenting method that is very common in China (think tiger-mom) - "I am doing this for your own good, so trust me and follow whatever I said."
