The agreement was signed by the UK and China (in 1947 if I’m not mistaken). As @hddsx already said, it is China that doesn’t hold up to the deal.
That aside, there is no reason to violate the universal human, no matter what the agreement says.
If they didn’t want to be annexed by China, they shouldn’t have signed a treaty to do so.

It was signed in 1984: en.wikipedia.org/…/Sino-British_Joint_Declaration
You are otherwise correct.
China is in clear violation of the agreement, since it explicitly stated that civil rights should remain protected for fifty years following the 1997 handover date.

Now that’s a bold and uninformed take.

What? They didn’t sign the treaty. The treaty was between the PRC and the UK. HK didn’t sign….
