They are certainly finding it hard to convey their message when they do not have total control. That's the problem with an authoritarian system, their propaganda departments just don't know how to convey a credible and convincing message to an audience with little government control over media. Mainland's message is not based on reason molded by the fire of a free press. This is why China, despite it's long history and rich tradition of culture and arts, punches way belong it's weight in terms of soft power.Original Post Deleted
That being said, HK is not simply about international image now, it's also about very real access to capital and economic interest. Many Mainland officials, business people and powerful family members park their money in HK so that they can have security in moving their money around, unlike on the Mainland. It is their most accessible place to move their capital out. Remove one country two systems and getting capital out of China becomes much harder. Also, despite the city's diminished status in terms of GDP portion of China, it is still highly relevant for mainland companies to raise foreign capital and for foreign companies to based in the city because of it's relative transparency and rule of law (although even that last two advantages is now being thrown in doubt, I suppose).

too soon to discuss who benefits the most from HK's downfall?

Not enough opportunities because we should bash company owners in the head until they pay more and increase manpower.
You can imagine how it looks, when my long-lost cousins in India are 'worried' about my welfare
