Just as they did not want Hong Kong back, merely to be able to complain about it, the Olympics will be the beginning of the end for the repressive communist regime in China.
It may take many years, and probably millions of lives, but they are used to that.
Regimes like Hitler’s Germany, Soviet Russia, Zimbabwe, Yugoslavia, Franco’s Spain, and so on simply cannot survive indefinitely. They all fail, because the underlying philosophy is fatally flawed.
What happens after is anyone’s guess. My personal guess is a break up into autonomous regions / countries as happened in the USSR.
The we have to ask whether this makes the world a better or safer place.
