The issue is the Beijing's attempt to deny the HKers what they have agreed to. No matter what percentage of people of Hong Kong are actively protesting, or how many passively supporting the protest; the whole process of curtailing Hong Kong's autonomy was morally and ethically wrong.
The entire issue has nothing to do with autonomy as Beijing has not interfered with HK in handling the protest. It is those that want to change the election process in HK that demands Beijing to do so for according to the Basic Law which is the constitution in HK, only the Chinese NPC that has the power in amending the process. China has not broke any of its promises as according to the Sino-British joint declaration, all that's promised is that there will be no change for 50 years, and yes there is no promise of autonomy after 50 years. And if you read the Basic Law, all that's promised is ultimate aim of universal suffrage through an election committee, which is exactly what Beijing has proposed.
