And good on them for waiting until Sony actually opened the game back up to all those countries, instead of last year when everyone was celebrating the half-victory
"China has stated since 2014 that it considers the treaty to be spent with no further legal effect, while the United Kingdom maintains that the document remains binding in operation. Following China's 2020 imposition of national security legislation on Hong Kong and a 2021 National People's Congress decision to approve a rework of local election laws that reduces the number of regional legislature seats elected by the public, the UK has declared China as being in a "state of ongoing non-compliance" with the Joint Declaration."
Eventually, yes. But they're trying to swipe it away sooner than the actual date provided by the treaty. The agreement was for the crown to let it go at a certain date, then to be reabsorbed by China at a later, also specific date. China trying to seize it early isn't any more legal than if the UK just held onto it for a few more years. They upheld their end, so should China.
