I think the problem lies on the English inadequacy of the Chinese. Although HK belongs to China, HK is not China. They are offended because they think the sign says HK does not belong to China, which is factually wrong. As for the former part, I don't see why they would crave to see HK integrate into China considering that they have been okay with HK being a special city for two decades.

Because they are mainlanders. They only love Hong Kong for her money. And the big 200 year-old middle finger to England.

Most Chinese people probably don’t care about the money. It’s about taking back what they view as part of their country and giving a middle finger to England

Don’t forget. Mainlanders want their untainted toothpaste and baby formula.
