It was back in August 2019 when we launched Squiz Shortcuts with
our very first topic being Hong Kong and its relationship with
China. At the time, China was making moves to increase control over
Hong Kong, and pro-democracy demonstrations had been ongoing for
some months. Now, it’s 18 months on and whilst many Hong Kongers
have rallied against China, it's control over the territory has
only tightened. In this episode of Squiz Shortcuts, we step through
the complicated history between China and Hong Kong, the
territory’s historic protest movement, and where things are at now.
Squiz recommends: Hong Kong on Edge. It’s a good look into the
causes of the unrest in the territory, and possible solutions to
the crisis. BBC’s The Documentary episode Hong Kong at a
Crossroads. It’s about Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters who are
facing that difficult decision on whether to stay and fight or take
the opportunity to flee to the UK. Survey link:
