Hi guys!
I have been keeping up with all of the things going on in Hong Kong since last year, because in my last GHS class I did my final presentation on the Umbrella Revolution! Before doing all of the research for the presentation I had no idea what was going on in Hong Kong, it is crazy to read about the things people are fighting for, things that we can take for granted here! I just thought that this article was interesting and just incase someone else wanted to read some more about what is going on in that part of the world. 🙂

Hi!
After reading your post I realized that I have no idea what is going on in Hong Kong so I decided to do some research of my own. The most interesting thing to me is that the people of Hong Kong do not know what to expect in 2047 after the “One country, two systems” policy expires. The proposed extradition policy seems to be a foreshadow of the future state of Hong Kong and as a young adult, I cannot imagine what the young people of Hong Kong must be thinking as they watch their rights being taken away already. This article was so interesting and made me reflect on my own freedoms and how much I take them for granted without even realizing! Thanks for sharing!
