3 CHIJSec/2019/NALevelPrelim/2175/2176/2177/01 Should the people of Hong Kong protest against the Extradition Bill? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. Prior to 1997, Hong Kong was a colony that was ruled by the British. Since then, Hong Kong was returned to China and governed under a ‘one country, two systems’ agreement that would give Hong Kong a special status from mainland China till 2047. Under the agreement, the Chinese government allowed Hong Kong a high degree of freedom, with its own judiciary, legal and executive systems and the same laws as before. This includes freedom of speech, assembly and protest. Despite enjoying its special status for years, people in Hong Kong are increasingly upset with China’s control of the city’s freedom. In June 2019, many people in Hong Kong protested against an Extradition Bill proposed by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) government, led by its Chief Executive, who was chosen by China. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong initiated the law because of the urgent need to persecute a Hong Kong man who had murdered his girl friend in Taiwan, and fled back to Hong Kong, without being punished for the crime. The Bill was crafted to allow suspects and fugitives from Hong Kong to be sent to mainland China for trial and punishment. At the height of the protests on 1 July 2019, which coincides with the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China, some protesters stormed into the Hong Kong Legislature Council Building, sprayed graffiti on its walls and raised a colonial flag featuring the British Union Jack in one of its rooms.

The set of scales shows her commitment towards measuring the different perspectives of a case while the blindfold represents the idea that everyone will be given a fair trial regardless of wealth or power. The sword represents the authority to enforce justice in ancient times.

5 CHIJSec/2019/NALevelPrelim/2175/2176/2177/01 Source C: Adapted from a speech by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR government, who is appointed by the Chinese government, at a press conference at 4am on 2 July 2019. On 1 July, that is the 2 2nd anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China , we saw two very different ways of how the protesters expressed their concerns. One was a regular march which was peaceful and orderly, fully reflecting the inclusiveness, peace and order of Hong Kong society. The second has saddened and shocked many, because of the use of violence and vandalism by protesters who stormed into the Hong Kong Legislative Council Building. This is something that we should not tolerate because nothing is more important t han the rule of law in Hong Kong . I hope that peo ple in Hong Kong will agree that we should oppose these violent acts, and hope society will be stable again soon. Source D: Adapted from an article written by a retired ambassador and permanent secretary of Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, published in The Straits Times, 6 July 2019. I do not know when the protests will end. But I am quite certain about what they will achieve: Absolutely nothing! Hong Kong had lost that battle before it even began. Where is Hong Kong going? Where can it go? Which foreign country will truly offer significant support to the protesters? Constant protests and the resort to violence will only hasten the erosion of Hong Kong's special status. I applaud the idealism and courage of the young protesters; I doubt their common sense. The protesters should remember that the Extradition Bill actu ally formally emphasises ‘ two systems’. After all, if it is only ‘one country’, why is there any need for legislation? W ith or without legislation, China can snatch - and has snatched - anyone it wants from over the border. Source E: Adapted from comments made by the British Foreign Secretary, 2 July 2019. I want to stress Britain’s support for Hong Kong and its freedom. No violence is acceptable. However, Hong Kong people must preserve the political right to peaceful protest, as hundreds of thousands of brave people have shown. No one supports violence but we understand the reason for people’s anger and their fears that they might be deprived of their freedom. Britain signed an internationally binding legal agreement that supports the ‘one country, two system
