The article explores revolt and revolution in Hong Kong as of June 2019, noting a demonstration that took place on June 12, 2019, which was in response to a bill that would allow the extradition of fugitives to stand trial in mainland China. A former British colony and handed over to China in 1997, Hong Kong has freedoms that are unique and differ from the rest of China, including free speech and an independent press.
