Being someone who tends to support self-determination of separate peoples, that just means I ought to support Hong Kong over China. Which I do. That doesn't mean I consider them an "ally" in American internal conflicts. They are not providing me aid and comfort, and their own culture tends to be more authoritarian and less pro individual liberty than my own.
