Sejarah

Hong Kong, a former British colony handed back to China in 1997, has long been a symbol of political and economic success. Its unique status under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework promised a high degree of autonomy, preserving its freedoms and capitalist economy for 50 years after the handover. However, in recent years, this promise has been put to the test, as Beijing's increasing influence over the region has sparked widespread protests and growing unrest. These protests, driven by a desire to protect Hong Kong’s democracy and autonomy, have become a focal point for global discussions about civil liberties, governance, and the future of one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.

The roots of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movements can be traced back to the 1997 handover and the promises of autonomy that accompanied it. Despite these promises, many in Hong Kong have felt that their political freedoms and rights are being steadily eroded. In response, various pro-democracy movements have emerged over the years, with the youth of the city playing a significant role in these campaigns. Their efforts have challenged not only local authorities but also the central government in Beijing, which has worked to tighten its control over the city in ways that many see as incompatible with Hong Kong’s unique status.

The most significant of these movements has been the series of protests that have swept across Hong Kong in the past decade. The 2014 Umbrella Movement, a response to proposed electoral reforms, marked a pivotal moment in Hong Kong’s struggle for democracy. It demonstrated the growing dissatisfaction with Beijing's influence and the increasing willingness of Hong Kong citizens to take to the streets in protest. Yet, it was the 2019 Anti-Extradition Bill protests that would bring the issue of Hong Kong's autonomy to the world stage.
