It means pro-Western empire. Hong Kong was occupied by Britain and only developed a “pro-democracy/anti-China” movement when the British decided to develop it as a leave-behind spoiler when they realized they had no legal basis to extend their lease of the island past 1999
But they did extend the lease for fifty years didn’t they? With the one-country, two systems treaty, they extended the lease for 50 years while adding the rest of Hong Kong that wasn’t under lease, but owned by the UK.
I don’t think so, but I could be run. The British government does not have a lease for Hong Kong as of 1997. If it was owned by the UK it would be two countries one system. One country two systems means that Hong Kong is part of China but retained all the artifacts of British influence including common law, official language of English, international dialing code, customs and border patrol, etc.
I’m guessing pro “democracy” just means pro-liberalism and pro-US in this case?
yeah thats these people’s code for capitalism, yes.
under the assumption that its the only democratic way, which is almost the exact opposite of the truth.

So no, I don’t think any lease was extended.
Always has been
I would suppose it’s pro independence / sovereignty, but that’s generally a no-no topic
Sovereignty is British occupation
