From @theinsidedrop - WILD SCENE AT HONG KONG AIRPORT: Police clash with protesters at Hong Kong airport _ #Police in #riot gear clash with #protesters at the Hong Kong #international airport as protesters attempt to block police buses outside the #airport. _ The #demonstrations began roughly 10 weeks ago, originally as a protest against a proposed law that would have made it easier for citizens in #HongKong to be extradited to mainland #China. The law has not been introduced, but there are still major concerns in Hong Kong about the future of the Chinese government’s control over the region. #XiJinping, who took power in 2012, has not been a friend to #democracy and currently holds anywhere from 800,000 and 3 #million #Muslims in #concentrationcamps. _ Hong Kong has operated under a “one country, two systems” regime ever since the #British handed over Hong Kong to China in 1997. The arrangement allows Hong Kong to have sovereignty in areas like trade policy and even the #Olympics, but that system is set to expire in 2047, well within the lifetimes of many young protestors. #torresestates. #Qreport #news world #ig #instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B1J_BCXHA_K/?igshid=1tz7qipvb9pzb
