Hong Kong Protests Explained

Tiananmen Square

What’s at stake for China

Summary

The expatriation bill which triggered the first protest started in April. It would have allowed for criminal suspects to go to mainland China under certain circumstances.

Opponents said this risked exposing Hongkongers to unfair trials and violent treatment. They also argued the bill would give China greater influence over Hong Kong and could be used to target activists and journalists.

Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets. After weeks of protests, leader Carrie Lam eventually said the bill would be suspended indefinitely.

Until 1997, Hong Kong was ruled by Britain as a colony but then returned to China. Under the one country, two systems arrangement, it has some autonomy, and its people more rights.

The bill was withdrawn in September but demonstrations continue and now demand full democracy and an inquiry into police actions.

Clashes between police and activists have become increasingly violent, with police firing live bullets and protesters attacking officers and throwing petrol bombs.

Protesters feared the bill could be revived, so demonstrations continued, calling for it to be withdrawn completely.

By then clashes between police and protesters had become more frequent and violent.

In September, the bill was finally withdrawn, but protesters said it was too little, too late.

On 1 October, while China was celebrating 70 years of Communist Party rule, Hong Kong experienced the most violent and chaotic days.

How Are Newspapers Made?

Step By Step

1. The wood fiber is separated in a process called refining where two plates of metal crush the wood and release its fibers.

2. Fibers are separated by stirring old newspapers together with old magazines in a Pulper, a mixing tank.

3. The printing ink found in recycled fibers inside the Pulper are removed in a process called De-inking where air bubbles are blown through the liquid pulp and allow the ink to stick to the clay that comes from the magazine papers. These clay particles stick to the air bubbles and float off  the recycling pulp in the de-inking tank. Sometimes Wash De-inking process is used to separate the printing ink from recycled fibers.

4. The pulp passes along a web in the paper machine, going through a wet section, then a press section, and finally through a drying section.

5. Finally, the paper is rolled up on huge reels and cut to the sizes ordered by publishers.

Extinction Rebellion Holds Worldwide Protests

On October 7 2019 to October 8 2019. A group called Extinction Rebellion protested the climate. Extinction Rebellion, began in the UK less than a year ago. And it has grown very fast since then, as thousands of people around the world have joined the group, looking for a way to pressure governments to take action on the climate emergency. Also the government wants to bring its climate pollution to 0 by 2025, and create a group of people who aren’t politicians to help the government decisions on the climate. Worldwide, hundreds of people were arrested. Extinction Rebellion actually wants it’s members to get arrested. That’s because during their trials, climate protesters are allowed to explain why they were protesting. It’s another way to spread their message that climate action is needed now. For some people, Extinction Rebellion’s protests are annoying. Even some who agree with the group’s goals may find Extinction Rebellion’s methods unpleasant.

My opinion: I believe that Extinction Rebellion’s is a good way to protest. It’s because the government will listen to the people. And I think it a right way to protest.

SLUMS SHOULD BE DESTROYED and replaced with proper housing. Richard

Person 1: I don’t believe that slums should be destroyed and replaced with proper housing because what happens when you destroy slum people living in the slum will be homeless and then they will protest which cause more problems. Person 2: I believe slums shouldn’t be destroyed just for wealthy humans to build their house. When people destroy slums, homeless people living their could’ve easily die and even if they didn’t, they could cause serious injury. Person 3: I believe that slums shouldn’t be destroyed and replaced with proper housing because the people living in slums should have the right to have a shelter and if slums are destroyed where are all the people living in slums go?I disagree with that statement, because then the slum dwellers will not have a place to live. They will not be able to survive, and charities won’t be enough.

I have been swimming for 4 days and still no sign of ice. The water was freezing, but calm. I was dreadful hungry and tired. Suddenly after days and days of swimming I saw something white I quickly swam to the white thing that appears to be land. But when I finally swam there it was only some other bears looking for sea ice. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. Hi my name is Mr Halcyonfoot, I am a 7 years old polar bear and I love to swim and walk. OK that get back to the story, anyway when I meet other bears I ask them, hey what are you guys doing even those I know. One of them answers we are trying to find sea ice and I ask them if I can join the search. They said sure why not? After we are all searching sea ice together as a team. By the way, one of the  bears is called SeaAitchEeEnJee which is a very long and weird name. The other bears name is Mathilde Greybeard. After hours and hours of searching we didn’t find any sea ice so we keep on searching for it. And final we found something that looks like sea ice so we ran and when we got there we have found it!! So we start settling down on the comfortable ice and we live there for our rest of our life.
