Hong Kong protests
Hong Kong has seen weeks of protests since a demonstration in June drew an estimated 1 million against a bill that would have allowed extradition to mainland China. Protests have zig-zagged the city and now include calls for democracy and to protect the autonomy guaranteed under the terms of its return to China.
