China’s Sudden Control of Hong Kong Explained 🇭🇰

How Did China Just Take Over Hongkong? #shorts How did China just take over Hong Kong? In 1997, Hong Kong was handed back to China by the British after 156 years of rule. But, there was a catch! Hong Kong was promised 50 years of autonomy under the 'One Country, Two Systems' agreement. Fast forward to recent years, and things got heated. Protests erupted as China started tightening its grip, pushing laws that undermined Hong Kong's freedoms. Then, in 2020, China dropped the hammer with the National Security Law—basically ending Hong Kong’s special status. Critics say it crushed free speech and wiped out any chance of real democracy in the city. So, what now? Hong Kong’s future is pretty much in China’s hands, and the world is watching closely. #china #hongkong #britishers #british #communism #democracy #xijinping #chinanews #geopolitics #geography #geographyfacts #history #historyfacts #facts #map #worldmap #countries #coggnize
