It's not easy to turn a million prosperous people into political dissidents. But that's what China might have pulled off in Hong Kong.
Organizers say more than a million people poured into the territory's streets on Sunday 9th June to march against an amendment to the law being rammed through the legislative council, or LegCo. The amendment would allow extradition to China. Every marcher understands the consequence: China would have the power to go after critics in Hong Kong by having them arrested there and then brought to the mainland for trial and imprisonment.
