Reply to comment by False-Guess in Ex-husband and relatives charged with murder of Hong Kong model Abby Choi as body parts found by paulfromatlanta

The whole 2019 HongKong protests were sparked by an extradition case, by the way.

HongKong wanted to extradite a HongKongese man from Taiwan (murdered his girlfriend).

HK Lawmakers drafted a extradition bill that would allow extradition between HK, China, and Taiwan.

People did not like that.

Indeed. There was a legitimate reason for the case in question - but horrific mismanagement by the HK government led the whole issue snowball into a wider political crisis.
