occupied HongKong.

ended the protest

6. BEFORE THE PROTEST
➤ HongKong is a democratic place which means that they can
vote freely
➤ It also means that the cantonese people could speak freely for
themselves
➤ Other Chinese country had influence on their elections

7. RESULTS
➤ The Chinese people started to get involved in their pre
elections which the cantonese people couldn't accept
➤ People got into a massive protest over the fact that Chinese
basically are taking away their freedom.
➤ HongKong is a democratic country but people say that
HongKong is also a communism country so its believed to be
a 1 government 2 systems country.

9. AFTER THE PROTEST
➤ HongKong is still a 1 government 2 system country
➤ They now get no other country involved in their pre election
for a chief
➤ They still have their freedom and rights to vote just like before
➤ China couldn't accept the fact they they couldn't pre elect for
HongKong so they got mad and took any social network with
HongKong down which features Instagram!

10. WHY WERE PEOPLE PROTESTING

➤ Chinese country’s getting
involved

11. METHODS

cantonese people’s shoes and say to yourself my country do we need
someone whom we can trust with our government and our world choices.

economy and our world stocks.
➤ If you can either say yes or no to those 2 questions then you basically
