The Dynamics of Peaceful and Violent Protests in Hong Kong: The Anti-extradition Movement

The Dynamics of Peaceful and Violent Protests in Hong Kong: The Anti-extradition Movement by Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo
English | PDF | 2021 Pages | ISBN : 9811567115 | 3.46 MB

This book shows that Hong Kong’s protests from June to December 2019 originated from not only an attempt to extradite a Hong Kong man involved in a Taiwan murder case, but also China’s effort at extraditing corrupt mainlanders who laundered dirty money in the territory. The mixture of peaceful and violent protests was due to the snowballing effect of protestors-police confrontations, the imbalanced way in which police exercised their power, and protestors’ strategies.
