against China’s tightening of its authority over the city, which Beijing had earlier promised would be allowed to keep its colonial-era rights and freedoms until 2047. The trial is now likely to be delayed.
The last time Beijing overruled a Court of Final Appeal decision was in 1999, two years after the city’s handover to China from the U.K., when it issued an interpretation that barred those born in the mainland from obtaining the right of abode in Hong Kong unless one of their parents were already permanent residents. Since then, Beijing has given its interpretation of the city’s laws four more times, but those didn’t involve overturning the top court’s decisions.
In the case of Mr. Lai, government lawyers failed to persuade the five Court of Final Appeal judges to block British lawyer Timothy Owen from representing the media figure. The lawyers had argued foreign counsel aren’t suitable to handle most national-security cases as the law originated from the laws of mainland China, and not the common-law system Hong Kong or British lawyers operate in.
The judges refused the government the right to appeal a lower court rejection, saying the arguments hadn’t been presented at the previous hearings.
Government and citizens in every countries must not win court cases All the time. Sometimes you lose it and sometimes you win it.

The 'Rule of Law' as interpreted by BJ's intervention is alive and well in Hong Kong. Foreign investors must be flocking to the city. As long as you are friends with BJ, the Hong Kong legal system will work for you ultimately no matter whose side the law is on.
Interpretation becomes intervention? hongkong is a part of PRC, NOT a colony of USA.
