The Dynamics of Peaceful and Violent Protests in Hong Kong - The Anti-extradition Movement (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)

This book shows that Hong Kong's protests from June to December
2019 originated from not only an attempt to extradite a Hong Kong
man involved in a Taiwan murder case, but also China's effort at
extraditing corrupt mainlanders who laundered dirty money in the
territory. The mixture of peaceful and violent protests was due to
the snowballing effect of protestors-police confrontations, the
imbalanced way in which police exercised their power, and
protestors' strategies. The protests triggered the national
security concerns of Beijing, which mobilized the People's Armed
Police to Shenzhen as a warning rather than sending them openly to
Hong Kong to avoid undermining the image of "one country, two
systems." The entire debate raised the concerns of Washington,
Taiwan, and foreign governments, heightening Beijing's sensitivity.
After the bill was withdrawn, the anti-extradition movement has
become anti-police and anti-mainland, constantly challenging the
legitimacy of the Hong Kong government and Beijing. This is a
valuable read for China watchers, political scientists and all
those interested in the future of East Asia.
