Hong Kong Crisis हांगकांग समस्या
समस्या की जड़ कहा है?
हांगकांग में अभी क्या हो रहा है?
हांगकांग में विरोध प्रदर्शन जून 2019 में Mainland China को प्रत्यर्पण (extradition) की अनुमति देने की योजना के खिलाफ शुरू हुआ था।
इस प्रत्यर्पण बिल (extradition bill) को अप्रैल 2019 में पेश किया गया था। इस बिल के द्वारा हांगकांग के निवासियों को अपराध के आरोप में Mainland China को प्रत्यर्पित किया जा सकेगा।
सितंबर में इस बिल को वापस ले लिया गया था, लेकिन प्रदर्शन जारी हैं और अब पूर्ण लोकतंत्र और पुलिस की कार्रवाई की जांच की मांग की जा रही है।

Umbrella Movement
Hong Kong Protests – Reasons Explained
The Hong Kong protests were a series of massive demonstrations that began in 2025 and lasted into 2025. These protests were triggered by a proposed extradition bill and later evolved into a broader movement demanding democracy, human rights, and autonomy from China.
Main Reasons Behind the Hong Kong Protests
Extradition Bill (Triggering Factor)
-
The Extradition Bill, proposed in April 2025, allowed criminals to be extradited from Hong Kong to mainland China.
-
Protesters feared China’s legal system would be used to silence political dissidents and violate Hong Kong’s autonomy.
-
The bill was suspended in June 2025 and fully withdrawn in September 2019, but the protests had already expanded beyond this issue.
Demand for Democracy
-
Hong Kong operates under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework, which grants it certain autonomous rights until 2047.
-
Protesters demanded full democracy, including the right to elect their Chief Executive (Leader of Hong Kong) instead of the pro-Beijing selection process.
Police Brutality and Human Rights Concerns
-
As protests escalated, Hong Kong police used tear gas, rubber bullets, and violent force against demonstrators.
-
Protesters called for an independent investigation into police actions and demanded accountability.
Fear of Losing Freedom & Autonomy
-
Many Hong Kongers fear that China is slowly eroding their freedoms and turning Hong Kong into another mainland Chinese-controlled city.
-
Press freedom, judicial independence, and civil liberties have been increasingly threatened.
National Security Law (2025)
-
In June 2025, China imposed a controversial National Security Law in Hong Kong, making it easier to punish “subversion, secession, terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces.”
-
Many saw this as the end of Hong Kong’s autonomy, as it allowed Chinese authorities to arrest pro-democracy activists and silence dissent.
Key Slogans & Symbols of the Protest
-
“Five Demands, Not One Less” → Protesters demanded five key reforms, including full democracy.
-
“Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” → A call for self-determination and resistance.
-
Yellow Helmets & Umbrellas → Symbols of resistance and defiance against the authorities.
Outcome of the Protests
Extradition Bill Withdrawn (September 2025).
National Security Law Enacted (June 2025), leading to arrests of activists.
Suppression of Pro-Democracy Movement, with many leaders arrested or exiled.
Increased Control by China, with press freedom, free speech, and political opposition severely restricted.
Conclusion
The Hong Kong protests were a fight for democracy and freedom against China’s growing influence. While some demands were met, China’s tightening grip over Hong Kong has significantly weakened its autonomy and political freedoms.
