From Washington to Wan Chai, executives are loudly protesting the city’s plan to allow extradition to mainland China. Losing in this standoff would signify a turning point in Hong Kong for more reasons than one, says KatrinaHamlin
Hong Kong legislators on May 14 clashed over a proposal that would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial. Pro-democracy officials planned to hold a meeting to discuss the bill, but a scrum ensued as democrats scrambled to block their rivals from holding a meeting of their own. The fracas followed earlier brawls in the legislature, which left one lawmaker hospitalised.
A delegation of Hong Kong democracy advocates, including the general secretary of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, testified against the extradition bill on May 15 before the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China, which monitors Beijing actions on human rights and the rule of law.
