Hong Kong Protest Update

from Quirky Japanese Podcast · host Yuto Ito

On Tuesday, Carrie Lam made a speech about the conspiracy extradition law “is dead”. But, the protest is still going in the town. What is the protest’s call for this. “Withdrawal” Carrie Lam didn’t say that, it means, there is a possibility that they will resume the process of making it happen. The bill has been discussed in the parliament since the incident happened in Taiwan. A couple went to Taipei for a holiday for about a week. Only the boyfriend came back to Hong Kong. After a while, he confessed the murder of his girlfriend. Hong Kong police couldn’t sent him to Taiwan because there was no extradition agreement between two countries. Some how, this extradition law allow china to send the Hong Kong’s citizens to China. Under the “One country, Two system” rules, Hong Kong peoples should be protected from Chinese Government’s power by its country’s law. Here is my personal opinion about this protest. It started peacefully with a thousand and millions people who deeply concerned about the future of Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s people especially young generation are joining it. It was growing bigger and bigger. Brave group of lawyers marched through the city to the legislative council where the all responsibilities of this extradition bill. The police tried to control the crowds using the tear gas and rubber bullet. Police official and Lam pointed out they are riot. Those weapons even hurt some journalist in the front line. I think that was the point the world started watching this incident seriously. Is there any police in your country, point the gun to its citizens? Yes, China. China China China. The police’s behaviour reminded me the 1989 Tiananmen. British government stopped shipping those weapons to Hong Kong. American previous Vice President Joe Biden showed the support to the Hong Kong’s people. Little by little, a light is coming on to the protesters. Still, the liberty is there in Hong Kong.
