Ahead of the G20 summit, which kicks off on Friday (June 28) in Osaka, Japan, Hong Kong’s protesters are clamoring to have their voices heard by some of the world’s most powerful leaders.
The effort comes after massive demonstrations against a hated extradition bill, which would allow Hong Kong to extradite suspects to mainland China, swept the city earlier this month. Though the government has suspended the legislation indefinitely in response to public anger, protesters want it completely withdrawn. Citizens see the controversial bill as yet another attempt by Beijing to squeeze Hong Kong of its freedoms and to bring it ever closer into its orbit, and the G20 summit, they believe, will be the perfect opportunity for world leaders to press Chinese president Xi Jinping on the issue.
