Protests in Hong Kong June 2019 Shows Over a Million
Posted by Protest Tracker on Thursday, June 13, 2019
For now we say, protests in Hong Kong in some sort of reaction to proposed extradition bill. This refers to the protesting that took place on June 12, 2019.
Apparently over 70 persons thus far have been injured.
Why isn't this front page news?, one reason for now is, tensions have been ongoing over various issue for at least decades, and this may be yet another protest, but not escalated to the point it is something unusual. Considering the (large) number of people in the region, the protests held relative, the protests and clashes with police are comprised by only a few people, a small segment of the population there, although perhaps not in other places in the world if the same numbers were involved.
It is plausible, that somewhere entwined in the pith, the baseline of what the ongoing tensions sprout out of, one Hong Kong's timeline of political crystallization progress post exit as colony of Britain over 20 years ago, and on through what is now known as the 'big' China of today.
Somewhere in the background, may be the recognition of Taiwan with respect to China, on 'contemporay and popular Western view', while more complex matters are involved when the historical background of Taiwan Hing Kong and China are set further in the forefront.
Obviously, people in Hong Kong might feel that court decisions upon junctures where it could swing one way or another, could swing in the favor of the popular geopolitical sense understanding of China, (the 'big' China, for the most part,) instead of Hong Kong, if of course the cases were held in China, instead of Hong Kong. Hence, that could be a continuum of an ongoing upper-hand, taken to be not in sync with goals of those in Hong Kong.
Among the places that readers that want to become more familiar with the matters, are what does 'China' mean in the context, does it refer to the Republic, or not?, for example.
HCN comments: Honestly, given the news articles about it in English on news sites around the web, as of June 12, 2019, all the issues involved in the protesting are not clear yet.
This article is subject to revisions and updates, as more information is ascertained, and verified.

'What is behind Hong Kong’s street protests?'
06/12/2019
For those that still want to know more, and do not know certain dimensions of the situation, there might still be more questions that answers are sought to.
The Politico article does expound some on how Taiwan is tied in.
Audiences gtting introduced to the tension diagram for the first time, want to know, how is Taiwan and Macau involved, with Hong Kong and Beijing in geographic miles as far apart as they are? Answer the basics of who, what, when, where, why, as it relates to the situation and going back only as far as the recent murder case a few years ago that helped propel extradition to the limelight- there is a lot of material to cover.
Some regions abutting mainland China run by Beijing are becoming notorious as narcotic producing havens, affecting other nations globally, including the U.S. Does policy apply to Hong Kong, but not to others, why or why not?
Which government entity or sub-entity is or are proponents of the bill?
I the U.S. and other countries in support of the government of Hong Kong, a perceived best direction in the best interest of the people of Hong Kong, or activists in Hong Kong supporting certain 'causes'?
Being careful is must, especially when dealing with sensitive issues, and when millions of people have the potentiality to start acting violently.
Forthrightly, activists and protestors just out of high school, starting college, or in their early 20s, may not be where policy analysts in the U.S. choose to be their ultimate leader of what the refined policy directions to take are. Some of the youths in the mass of protestors might be there with the intentions of a 'good' cause, or even ones the U.S. might agree to, but dissecting all the policy aims and philosophies at a governmental level, usually takes place among leaders that have an amount of seasoning.
Protestors were reportedly trying to march on property of Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's Chief Executive, but were stopped by police.
(Protesters were not marching on Beijing.)
Logical extension, is the policy Lam is promoting may 'prolong the pain' that Hong Kong prisoners could go through if subjected to 'mainland' China court system, if the policy that Lam is promoting succeeds in being ratified.
HCN comment: There is an aspect, or particular policy or set of policies, or set of policies that may cater to superiority and capacity to pressure Hong Kong persons, that is being formulated by Hong Kong, and that is what Hong Kong protestes are going after stopping. The entirety of the Hong Kong government may be in another status as far as how the U.S. government looks at it.
Who are the activists that protested yesterday, on a case-by-case basis? How was the protesting organized? How long in the making was the protesting in the design phase?
There is clean-cut one side has an ideology and goal of a certain objective, the other side has a clearly opposing view. A somewhat contrasting scenario, is when there are bunches of hodge-podges, including groups and individuals who are out there protesting for no other reason than they saw someone else protesting, and know very little about the ideologies being debated.
Adage learned from strife in Far East Asia since the 1940s, before we get sucked in, let us learn more about the multitudes of what all the tensions are, allows for clearer sight on what needs to be resolved, and how to get it resolved.
Leader of China has come to the U.S. to visit the White House during current administration, whereat it is evident there are U.S.-China relations. U.S.-Hong Kong relations could exists concurrent to U.S.-China relations, easily seen when the 'one-country, two-systems' system, that exists in China. Beijing foreign ministry spokesman per Politico article evidently feels that China-Hong Kong relations have a level of sanctity that they should not in simplistic terms be interfered with by parties outside them, or those already expected to be at the table.
Some news sources say, more protesting possibly even rioting is planned for Sunday.
HCN comments: Protesters get stuck at the scene, and some may not want to leave the site of the protesting, so, protesting altogether may be an ongoing situation from now until early next week.
Betwen the lines, some news sources are dropping hints that a stage is being set for similar situations, perhaps of less severity, of what happened in Tiananmen Square incident that occurred back in 1989.
