Abstract
Over the last decade, Hong Kong has emerged as a bell-weather for the hopes of democratic reform in China. Frustration at the lack of progress towards universal suffrage based on international standards came to a head in the 2014. The ‘Umbrella Movement’ involved hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens who took part in sustained protests for universal suffrage.
