Ep10: Hong Kong Protests with Meg Thomas

from Puff Pass Politics Hosted by Bennett Leon

Hosts, Bennett and Ashley have Special Guest Meg Thomas who has been studying Chinese Language and Culture, for at least 12 years and has a degree in International Business. We discuss the fundamentals of the situation and how we came to this turning point in the country that uses a unique government structure with their One Country Two Systems plan. When the Chief Executive (HK's version of a President) announced the arrival of a bill that would allow the extradition of Hong Kongers to Mainland China to be criminally tried in Chinese courts. The people of Hong Kong have since risen up and taken to the streets to protest the Chinese State, police forces, and the proposed bill (that has since been shelved). We also discuss the significance of Umbrellas in the resistance movement in Hong Kong.
