What is the Hong Kong crisis?
What it is?
The Hong Kong crisis has been a thing going on in the news recenetly.There has been many disagreements and arguements on how china treat Hong Kong.Many people from Hong Kong have been protesting about there basic human rights and freedom.
How it started.
It started when the british took over china and had control over Hong Kong for a hundred years.The british promised to give back Hong Kong after the period of time has ended.Hong Kong loved british rules because they had basic human rights and had freedom.When china took Hong Kong back the people hated it because they hated chinas rules because they did not have basic human rights of freedom.
Protests.
Many people have been protesting in Hong Kong about chinas rules and how they want britain to be their rulers.Hundreds and thousands of people have protested about this.The protests started in march and april where people would be coming down the streets of Hong Kong protesting about chinas power and rules.
Then I started to wonder ...
What would happen if Britan did not give Hong Kong back?
What would happen if china had good rules?
The Hong Kong crisis has been very intresting and hopefully i can learn alot more about it.

If we support the cause of the Hong Kong people against China it may affect our trading relationships with China.

Thanks for giving out first Discussion Starter of the year! You're that there have been many arguments and disagreements, and these have led to protests.
It's always important to give evidence for what we say - could you give any evidence for Hong Kong 'loving' British rule and 'hating' China's rules? It's also important to back up your statement about Hong Kong wanting Britain to be their rulers. Do you have evidence for this at the moment, or is this more something you think might be true?

If Britain did not give Hong Kong back, more likely to be a small or big war. Britain signed an agreement that they would give Hong Kong back in 100 or more years, if we didn't, China would become mad with our country which is not a good sign.

I like how you used i love britis rules i hait china rules imaging yourself as someone in the hong kong crisis. It would be even better if you used evidence to prove what you are saying. I liked that you used questions to end your riting.
Hi vibrant_tiger,
Can you find some evidence of your own to support or challenge what has been said?
The man from a protests in your video said that he wanted british government to help hong kong because of the agreement. I think it would be difficult because China is a dictatorship and wouldn't listen to Britain.

Thanks, vibrant_tiger. What evidence do you have for the statement 'China is a dictatorship'?

What would happen if china had good rules?
personally, I think that if China had good rules then the people of Hong Kong would have no problem changing from the British back to the Chinese. If china had basic human rights and freedom then there wouldn't be the protests to get them so there would be peace.

If we try to help hong kong we will loose our relationship with them and maybe can cause thousands of deaths possibly.
Thanks for your comment best_raspberry. It's always good to explain your ideas in full - who will we lose our relationship with and how would this lead to the result you're suggesting?

I really like how you put this post into your own words, I managed to understand it very well.
Hong Kong don’t agree with China’s rules, for example, some rules are...
That Chinese people don’t have freedom of speech and they don’t have the right to protest.
I want China and Hong Kong to make an agreement about which rules should and shouldn’t apply in Hong Kong.
I think if China had good rules - by good I mean respectful of people and their basic human rights and freedoms, then Hong Kong would not mind changing from the British rules to the Chinese ones. Also, there would probably be less injuries and crime because so many protesters in Hong Kong have gotten seriously hurt as there were so many protesters crammed together. If China did have fair rules then Hong Kong and China would be in peace with each other.

I think that we should start a democracy as they are breaking the rules. If we put our self into Hong Kong shoes this is what I would think. I would want China to stop and for us to be an independent country and would like China to go off with what they so we do have less chance of world war 3.
