Interestingly the protest in Hong Kong was triggered by a Hongkonger who murdered his girlfriend while they were vacationing in Taiwan.
Taiwan was in negotiations with Hong Kong to extradite him and the protestors were afraid of the implications.
In the end, a much stronger National Security Law was passed after the riots and the murderer still walks free.
- firen777 4y agoA HKer murdered a HKer. said murderer moved back to HK. HK government said "nope can't deal with that sorry" Taiwan: fine, we can negotiate the extradition if you insist on us taking the case. HK gov: actually we are gonna make an all encompassing law that deals with extradition. It also makes extraditing criminals/political refugees/booksellers/whoever the ccp request quick and easy but please ignore it.
- maxloh 4y ago> Taiwan was in negotiations with Hong Kong to extradite him and the protestors were afraid of the implications. No. The HK government broke off the negotiations on purpose. They want to use that as an excuse to pass some laws that gain Beijing more control over HK. It was the proposed laws that terrified HongKongers, not the negotiations.
