Those people have significant autonomy, and far, far more agency than before the CPC. Hong Kong was run by a council mostly appointed by the crown and major businesses, Tibet's people were literal slaves to the theocratic ruling class. Now they both elect representitives to send to congresses, whom enact their will.
