The Conquest of Hong Kong – VisualPolitik EN

During 2019, Hong Kong made headlines for numerous protests that broke out following Beijing’s attempt to impose an Extradition Bill. The proposed law would have allowed Xi Jinping’s regime to bring as many Hong Kong residents before the courts of the Chinese Communist Party as he wanted.

That law was curbed, but what is currently happening with Hong Kong residents in 2020 could be much worse.

China intends to put the so-called National Security Law in effect as soon as possible, a law that places issues such as extradition and Chinese interventionism back on the table in Hong Kong’s judicial system.

A system that should supposedly operate completely freely and independently until at least 2047.

Now, what exactly does this new law entail? Why is Xi Jinping launching Hong Kong’s “conquest” right now? In this video, we’ll tell you.

In This Story: Hong Kong

Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (HKSAR), is a metropolitan area and special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta of the South China Sea. With over 7.5 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world.

Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the Qing Empire ceded Hong Kong Island at the end of the First Opium War in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The whole territory was transferred to China in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China under the principle of “one country, two systems”.
