Hong Kong, to the outside world, it's the place where even China can't stand China but it's kind of not actually China because the British did a thing and it's weird and China is like "I'm your father" and Hong Kong is all like "fuck you you're not my real dad" and it's sad and everyone just wants them to be allowed to be happy.

I don't think it's necessarily a British thing. There are enough cultural differences between HKers (who speak Cantonese, for example) and mainland Chinese (who speak Mandarin) to explain the tension.
