There is a new extradition bill debating in Hong Kong which leads to protests of about 200k people on the streets. I looked at the content of the bill. It seems reasonable to me. Why do they protest?
She has said safeguards have been incorporated into the bill but critics say it would put people at risk of extradition to China for political 'crimes'. "There is this fear that Hong Kong will lose its international reputation as a free society that is different from China. This could sound the death knell of 'one country, two systems'."
If you murder someone in mainland China, you can live freely in Hong Kong.
It’s the same in America, you can murder someone in China and live freely in USA. What’s your point? But I can say anything I want about China in America without fear of being extradited. Is that what you don’t want? Clearly you aren’t born and forced to live in Hong Kong.
This bill is a violation of the terms China agreed to with the UK before Hong Kong was handed over.
Care to support that claim?
The “justice” system in China doesn’t provide the same guarantees that are mandated to be provided to those in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was guaranteed autonomy, and the CCP has already eroded it too much. I acknowledge this is a slippery slope issue though.
I am deeply disappointed in how mainland China has been disrespecting HK's people, culture, and language since the handover.
This explains why Hk protest: https://youtu.be/XVeBENYjxjE The proposed extradition law may read reasonable, the problem is the Chinese government is not to be trusted according to what they have done to people with different political opinions. They afraid the Chinese government can just make up a non-political criminal charge to anyone they demand, and this extradition law will provide support for that to send innocent people to mainland.
Yea you are right. Hong Kong shouldn’t be independent and able to pass their own reasonable laws without the permission from world police.
I thought it was 1.3 million people
We prolly looked at different media sources.
