What’s happening in Hong Kong?

The announcement of China’s new national security law for Hong Kong has called into question the “one country, two systems” principle that outlines Hong Kong’s distinct political & judicial autonomy.

This article aims to provide an overview of the tensions between China and Hong Kong.

Although no essay can fully do justice to this sensitive issue, we hope it encourages all to partake in actions to bring about an end to systemic racism.
