In July 1997 Hong Kong was handed over to the People’s Republic of China after 156 years of British rule. In the Sino-British Joint Declaration, China agreed to allow Hong Kong considerable political autonomy and freedom for the following 50 years. Despite this, Hong Kong’s freedoms have been under pressure ever since. Protests for democracy have been cracked down on, with dissenters being silenced and severely punished. What is the political situation like in Hong Kong today? What remains of the pro-democracy movement? What are the prospects for Hong Kong?
Ray Wong is the chairperson of the organisation "Freiheit für Hongkong e.V."
