Is my theory too far fetched that the US has now lost its influence over / in HK in the silent war against China?
Hong Kong set to allow corporate directors to obscure their identity

Directly - nothing.
But what of an opinion would *you* be if you were born in Hong Kong or a) Sinkiang / Urumchi or b) Tibet or c) Taiwan (to a lesser degree) or d) inner Mongolia or e) China itself?
And if besides that, you wanted to have freedom of expression, freedom of information in general. Who would you call for help if you got jailed for critising or expressing your opinion about the government? Or simply for exposing the truth.
How would you feel if other country would invade yours and establish its draconian rule there pretending that rule would be for YOUR OWN︀ good?
What if you went to China, got captured, put in jail and they'd be︁ trying to "remove bad elements from your world view, for *your own good!"? Martin, that︂ would be nice for you, huh?
Go to Urumchi or any other place mentioned above︃ (some - more, other - less of a degree), buy a house there and then︄ you'll learn "what it has to do with the US".

Plenty of countries have limited freedoms. Have a walk around the middle east. A guy got cut to pieces in a Saudi Embassy in Turkey for critcising the government.
Whats this got to do with HK?
If you go to China via your own choice do as the Romans︃ when in Rome. I don't go to Saudi Arabia and start telling women they should︄ be able to take off their Burqa's and walk around in hotpants 😕.
Why would I go there or buy a︈ house there?
I am no fan of China but HK is an internal matter. The︉ US should fix its own problems at home before interfering in other countries internal affairs.︊

As I had the privilege of living in Asia from 2006 to 2016 (latest 2 years in HK) I can tell you before the 2019 so-called "revolution", HK was one of the greatest places to live on earth (minus the outrageous rents but that's demand/supply theory at work).
After 2019, China had to take note of what was happening despite swallowing a big rock for the︀ "2014 umbrella revolution". And with that they took action.
At this point, it's safe to︁ say those who protested shot their own feet.
And all of this has created a︂ mess for those who are going to stay (aka the people without the money to︃ move abroad......rich fat cats have 2 or 3 passports)
