In 2014, Joshua Wang came into the world eye when he started the 'Umbrella Movement'. It called for democracy in Hong Kong and increased voting rights. At that time, he was only 19 years old. It was because of this movement that the prestigious international magazine Time named Joshua among the most effective teenagers of 2014.
Not only this, in 2015 Fortune magazine included him in the category of 'Greatest Leaders of the World'. Apart from this, Wang was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in the year 2018. At that time, he was only 22 years old. Joshua is currently the Secretary General of Hong Kong's political party Democisto. He formed this party at the age of just 19.
Why is the performance happening?
Recently, the Hong Kong administration brought a bill, according to which if a person from Hong Kong commits or performs a crime in China, he will be prosecuted not in Hong Kong but in China.
What was more, the youth of Hong Kong under the leadership of Joshua Wang (23) blew the trumpet against the bill and took to the streets to protest against China. Millions of youths gathered on the streets of Hong Kong.
In fact, Hong Kong's young population felt that the Communist Party of China wanted to dominate Hong Kong through this bill. Although the Hong Kong government withdrew the bill in view of the continuous and vigorous performance, the youth movement did not end. The protesters demand that the democratic system in Hong Kong be further strengthened.
China also has 'one country, two policy'
Just as Jammu and Kashmir being an integral part of India, its constitution and rules and laws were different from the Constitution of India earlier, some similar laws are also in Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong is officially a Special Administrative Region of China, but under 'one country, two policy', it has its own currency, law system, political system, immigration control and rules of the road. Hong Kong enjoys a 'high degree of autonomy' in all areas except for foreign affairs and defense only. The Chinese government is responsible for foreign affairs and defense related matters here.
What is the history of Hong Kong?
Hong Kong was previously under British occupation. Hong Kong became a special British colony in 1842 after being settled as a trading port, but in 1843 China bought it from Britain. However, during the Second World War, Hong Kong was captured by Japan. Later, when Japanese soldiers were killed, Hong Kong was again in possession of China. The Hong Kong Transfer Exchange (Sino-British Joint Declaration) was signed between China and Britain on 19 December 1984 and since then it became a Special Administrative Region of China.
