The reasons for the protests are well-covered elsewhere, they are full of nuance that I can't get right, and my assumption is that people who read through this post and are interested will be able to find lots of background on the protests through a simple google search.
I would normally have added reading links, but things are moving fast here and also I am on an unfamiliar travel laptop where it's kind of a chore to edit and write.
- unityByFreedom 7y agoThe protest started from a proposed law to extradite HKers to China. That point is not nuanced, it's just a contextual fact.
- idlewords 7y agoThat is how the protest started. Why it continues, why it has grown, and why extraditing people is such a galvanizing issue, is complicated.
- dredmorbius 7y agoYours is an excellent piece. A bit of grounding context would still improve it. Wabi sabi, as I know from previous exchanges. Thank you all the same.
