Pro-democracy lawmakers defeated the bill because it didn't include a timeline for when Hong Kong would become democratic. I know. Hong Kong would become democratic when PRC ceases to exist(, but not while it exists.)

Communism's ideology considers itself a natural evolution of the dialectics in democracy. They probably want to make sure HK adopts Chinese Communism before they put it to vote. Otherwise it might actually lead to a true dictatorship of the proletariat being established in HK which would be the worst of all outcomes as it would be a standing argument to PRC's faithlessness vis-a-vis the Revolution, lol!

That sad thing, coming up on 9 years, is how no one cares and how Hong Kong is utterly irrelevant.
