Opinion | Hong Kong Is China, Like It or Not – The New York Times

Hong Kong has been rocked by a series of crises after the eruption of protests last year over a proposed bill (long since withdrawn) that would have allowed the extradition of some suspects in criminal cases to mainland China.

Hong Kongers who wanted the city promptly to return to peace thought the authorities handling of the situation, which dragged on for months and grew more and more violent, was incompetent. For other locals, many outsiders and apparently much of the global media, a people s legitimate quest for more democracy was being suppressed.

Something had to be done, and the Chinese authorities did it.
