1. Summary
Hong Kong's protests started in June against proposals to allow
extradition to mainland China. Critics feared this could
undermine the city's judicial independence and endanger
dissidents. A former British colony, Hong Kong has some
autonomy and more rights than the mainland under a "one
country, two systems" deal. City leader Carrie Lam agreed to
suspend the bill, but demonstrations continued and developed to
include demands for full democracy and an inquiry into police
actions. The bill was finally withdrawn in September. Clashes
between police and activists have been becoming increasingly
violent, with police using tear gas and activists storming
parliament.
Tie to class
There are several different international reactions to the Hong
Kong protest. In the United States, president Donald Trump
condemned the developing violence of the protests in calling the
events 'riots'. He also said the US will not involve itself. In
response, a bipartisan group of senators issued a statement to
Trump, condemning Beijing's efforts to undermine Hong Kong's
autonomy. In the letter, they declared Hong Kong's governance
is not China's internal affair and that if the U.S fails to respond
to Beijing's threats it would only encourage Chinese leaders to
act with impunity. Trump administration officials said the day
after that the president had no intention to signal a policy
change or an endorsement of China's position.
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong ho said that, North
Korea fully supports the stand and measures of China to defend
the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the country
and safeguard the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and
concerns about foreign forces interference in Hong Kong issue.
The European External Action Service said rights "need to be
respected" in Hong Kong. Over the past months, the people of
Hong Kong have exercised their fundamental right to assemble

2. and express themselves freely and peacefully. These rights need
to be respected.
We can see how they react differently by the political bias they
have in their country. Especially, North Korea is a country
based on socialism. And that is why they entirely support
China.
Personal Takeaway
My personally support the Hong Kong protest. Not only
because I have Hongkongese friends, but also because I am
Korean. This protest is basically occured by the political
problem. Back in the days, Korea also have suffered from losing
freedom. We also had a big pre-democracy movement in the
1980s. The government totally repressed the protestors even
physical attack just like the Hong kong police nowadays. The
protestors didn't surrender at all and finally we got the freedom
from the government. I hope Hong Kong protestors could gain
the things they want without any harm.
