You're not wrong here though. Regardless of the fact that 2 Million civilians marched against the new bill that was passed, the only option they have is to leave that god forsaken shithole of a place.

This was quite an interesting read: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/25/we-have-no-other-choice-as-china-erodes-democracy-hong-kong-citizens-prepare-to-leave

Imagine how bad the condition is, that the people are moving to Australia out of all places. This whole world needs a redo, desperately and immediately.

Hihi, they've chosen Australia because it felt a bit closer to their former home.
Funny that in the top 3 there is not a single EU country and we're still quite attractive ....for how long that will be.

But notice that not only politics are the reason, but they also blame living conditions, wages, prices, I wouldn't live there either, no matter
who runs it.

It is very difficult to understand the essence of the question posed, because war never benefits the development of peaceful technologies. Another thing is military technology, which grows like yeast dough, if there is some kind of military confrontation. But I dont understand how Bitcoin can benefit from the war between China and Hong Kong.

In the mind of some Bitcoin fanatics war is good for Bitcoin just as an economic crisis because it will help the price and Bitcoin adoption. Of course, people that get killed in the war or lose their jobs will be the first to buy into crypto.
Also, the OP thinks that people fleeing Hong Kong will buy Bitcoin to get money out of the country and increase the price and omits that once they arrive at the destination they will also dump them.

You will be a great analyzer because of the way you totally did your analysis, I often get amazed sometime when people just fee that bitcoin will have solution to everything, and I dont know where in satoshi whitepaper where it was stated that bitcoin will end war or war will benefit bitcoin. Bitcoinis meant to help grow economy, no doubt about that, but how it will help a damaged economy is still what I really cannot phantom.

The only thing that has ever crossed my mind in the case of linking bitcoin to war is that people could easily use it to move money out of the country easily without it being traced, and this practice will only benefit those top people who are even the ones that caused the war, and like you said, they will eventually dump the coin back when they have the chance to do so.
