    I vaguely remember this. Was the proposed law limited to in-person serious crimes like murder, or was it overly broad?

    I can't imagine that many of the protesters were against prosecuting a murderer, but there are laws, and then there are laws.

      It was an extradition treaty. It would allow them to extradite criminals to Taiwan and the mainland, and vice versa. The protests were overwhelmingly white collar, for obvious reasons.

        Taiwan, not Thailand. I have the strangest hunch these protests wouldn't have been promoted as much if they couldn't make it a Taiwan-Hong Kong-Mainland internal struggle.
