Hong Kong Protest

Hong Kong is on the South of China. Hong Kong was an English colony until 1997 when it was given back to China.Hi, I am going to talk about Hong Kong Protest during the summer 2020.

There was an agreement between Great Britain and China to keep english way of life during 50 years. Hong Kong could keep a democratic system with elections and a capitalist economy.

Nevertheless, China did not respect its commitment and China is trying to enforce its communist politic, by reducing freedom (extradition, security laws).

For almost one year, Hong Kong population protest against China: there are violent marches, strikes and riots in the streets. Chinese police makes violent repressions against Hong Kong young population. Hong Kong wants to defend its democracy against police brutality. They want a greatest independence from China that does not respect human rights.

On June the sixteen, there were 2 million Hong Kongeses in Hong Kong capital, so one habitant on three dressed in black.

Hong Kong wants to protect freedom of expression because China created a law to punish opponents. It is the first time in twenty years that Hong Kong knows such violence.
