When China’s First Opium War broke out in 1842, Hong Kong became a part of China’s colonization of the British Empire. On July 1, 1997, HongKong transferred to China after 156 years of British rule.

According to the agreement signed at this time, China made HongKong its special administrative territory. Similarly, Hong Kong is given executive, legal, and judicial powers, except China’s national policy under the policy of ‘one country two systems’. At the same time, financial and administrative structures and policies gave the autonomy of continuing the tradition.

Hong Kong administration and Political parties

The basic law of the region is also governed by the independent constitution of the region. There is a way to appoint a delegation and Chief Executive to run the region. Three sets of political-ideological parties are working here.

There are a total of 22 parties operating in Hong Kong, including the Chinese governments the Beijing-based party, the Democratic Party and the local party.

The Chinese Communist Party does not have an official presence in the region and does not participate in local elections. HongKong maintains its relations and cooperation with its delegates at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, organized by the Chinese Central Government.

This particular relationship between China and HongKong has had to go through a lot of stress on the journey so far. Due to ideological and political differences, the questions of identity are raised.

Struggle to Maintain relations with China

In recent times, the Hong Kong-based struggle against China has rekindled in the wake of the controversial extradition law, there are a number of protests, marches, demonstrations are on the rise. The suppression of the police system against it has changed the atmosphere in HongKong.

The HongKong government introduced a revised bill to move criminals not only to Taiwan but also to China and Macau by changing the legal provision of extradition in HongKong.

Thereafter, the government proposed to set up a mechanism to send absconding criminals to the above countries. When the bill came forward for approval, it raised criticism by locals, legal practitioners, social organizations, industrial groups as well as Western countries that could violate Hong Kong’s legal autonomy.

HongKong’s trade world and its open environment can deteriorate. Because of this, HongKong citizens and foreign nationals who live in HongKong or stay for some time can be sent to China for crimes. The courts are operating under the political authority of China. Etc. That was also the reason for registering.

Since 1997, since the partition of China, autonomous Hong Kong has not extradited a criminal to China. However, mainland China’s security agents were constantly entering HongKong and secretly pursuing China for action, arresting people for threatening mainland China.

This is where the protests ignited

On the one hand, this is what happened at the beginning of 2018. Chan Tong Kai, a 19-year-old resident of Hong Kong, murdered his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan and returned to HongKong.

He also confessed to the crime before the HongKong police. But police could not prosecute him or hand him over to the Taiwanese government. Because no such contract or law existed.

Now that the Hong Kong government has taken steps to change this scarcity condition.

Since June, HongKong has become the epicentre of the People’s Movement. The movement had succeeded in withdrawing the bill in early June.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Officer Carrie Lam has announced that she has withdrawn the proposed bill. The Chinese government has nothing to do with the matter, as it is the administration’s decision that shook hands. The impulse for peaceful protests is not extinguished. In July, a group of protesters entered the Law Board’s office directly.

Demands of Protestors

The group, which has been in office for some time, put forward its five demands.

Abolishing the extradition bill Eliminating the adjectives that the government presents as a ‘riot’ Conducting independent inquiries on police abuses Showing mercy to the arrested protesters Implementing a general election system

In Hong Kong today, the protest is receiving a universal response, and UNO has also taken notice of the protest. The USA and Trump administration is also supporting the protesters.

China warned that it will intervene if protesters do not stop. china warned they will not keep quiet if things continue as it is.In Hong Kong, which is a major hub of global business activity. The whole world is paying close attention to what will happen next. The Effect of a crackdown on protesters can be dangerous to china as well. Chinese economy can go downhill if it considers harsh methods and tried to change regional autonomy.
