Your shortcut to... Hong Kong

In this (first) episode of Squiz Shortcuts we are looking at Hong
Kong. It's been in the news every day for the past few months given
the ongoing demonstrations in the region against what protestors
see as an erosion of freedoms to China. That's the news. In the
episode of Squiz Shortcuts we'll give you the background. We'll
start with Hong Kong pre-Britain, we'll then have a look at what
happened during the British lease-period and then the more recent
history, when it was handed back to China. Finally we'll look at
how this all ties in with what is happening there now. Squiz
Shortcuts is your shortcut to more than the headlines. Squiz
