Hong Kong Today - why there are so many divisions in Hong Kong
Tangerang - Opposition to the extradition treaty has been a snowball since it was announced in February. Domestic and international concerns have been expressed about the possibility of persecution motivated by politics and unfair trials in China.
The public took to the streets in large numbers to protest the bill, including last Sunday, when, according to organizers, 1.03 million people participated in the action. Although the police mention the number only 240,000.
Why do foreign governments come to weigh?
The Chair of the US House of Representatives strongly condemned the bill and offered support to the protesters on Wednesday (June 12, 2019).
In a statement, Nancy Pelosi said the extradition proposal "coldly shows Beijing's willingness to trample on laws to silence dissent and reduce the freedom of the Hong Kong people".
"The extradition bill endangers strong US-Hong Kong relations that have been developing for two decades," he added.
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt also responded to protests in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
"Upholding the principle of 'one country, two systems', as stipulated in the legally binding Sino-British Joint Declaration, is very important for Hong Kong's future success," he said.
But Beijing foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang replied that no country, organization or person had the right to interfere in China's internal affairs.
"China strongly opposes the irresponsible and false statements made by certain individuals in the US," he added.
