Hong Kong Protests | Start Here
What sparked the protests and the political crisis in Hong Kong?
Hundreds of thousands of people in Hong Kong have continued to protest in the streets since demonstrations began in June 2019.
The protests started as an outcry over an extradition bill and have reawakened Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.
Hong Kong’s leaders are demanding big changes to the way the autonomous region is run and some want to stop it fully reuniting with China in 2047.
So how did we get here? This episode of Start Here explains why one extradition bill triggered an unprecedented political crisis.

One of the first times the western or English speaking media has addressed the catalytic murder case in Taiwan...
@Fai2012

Even that is too short of a summary. Taiwan played a role in this protest by not cooperating with the drafting of the extradition bill, while calling for justice to be brought to the family. Then when the murderer wanted to turn himself in to Taiwan after serving his sentence in Hong Kong, Taiwan also rejected. Of course, Taiwan president got pounded for that.

@@Fai2012 Stop spreading lies. Taiwan government were willing to provide the evidence to the Hong Kong government so that the murderer can be trialed in Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong government refused. There are also other suggestions to transfer the murderer to Taiwan such as case-by-case extradition bill approved not by the HK Cheif Executive, but by the Legco, or the HK gov could add a Sunset Clause into the extradition bill. All these suggestions were proposed by lawers or legislators, but Carrie Lam rejected all those suggestions and chose the most controversial one, which obviously because China wants to take more control on HK. Furthermore, Taiwan gov didn't reject to take the murderer. It's the murderer dicided to stay in Hong Kong after releasing from jail. Please check the facts first!

As much as I appreciate the video host's attempt to give an objective report about the Hong Kong protest, I found her report to be inadequate if not biased against the protesters due to ignorance as can be seen from the missing of crucial events which explain why the Hong Kong people are justified to hold massive protests against the Hong Kong police and communist China.

The crucial events that she failed to mention include: 1/ The Yeun Long Terrorist attack in which communists in Hong Kong hired pro-communist gangsters to attack Hong Kong people indiscriminately because the communists could not tolerate the massive peaceful protests against them.

Great Summary. I think this is the first doc on the HK protests that recognizes these protests are a result of many prior protests and that it's not just merely over the extradition bill. These protests run much deeper than just that bill, similar to how the American Revolution was over much more than just a tax on tea.

thank you, Aljazeera. 3:13 it's "一国两制." Besides, "1 death and hundreds arrested" is not true actually. Since the breakout of protest, more than 2000 "suspected suicide" cases have been reported. There was no sign indicating their suicide will, however. It is widely believed that these protesters might have been secretly executed. Almost 6000 have been arrested, facing at least 10 years in prison... some of them were even transported to mainland China, which shall be a clear infringement against "One country Two systems." Taiwan supports HK.

Separatist idea is definitely held by some of the people in Hong Kong but it has never got to the mainstream. However, it is heavily propagandised in China’s state media for the audience of mainland Chinese. Most of the people in HK still stick to the five demands without asking for independence.

But in HK there has also been a huge increase in the number of deaths that are classified as suicides, and the people of HK don't trust the HK police to have done proper investigations. The majority of HKers believe that the HK police have killed people and then engaged in cover ups. The level of distrust of the police among the people of HK is off the charts.

No democracy under British rule. Governor ran HK with executive committee, which was made of British business leaders. Legislature under British rule were toothless. Sector legislature seats are also contested by both camps by elections. One country two systems also implies HK must be able rule its self. Riots in last 12 months has shown HK cannot rule its self. Hence, one country supercedes more than two systems. Independence of HK attacks one country hence will not be tolerated.
