Is Hong Kong's autonomy in China under threat?



Hong Kong's proposed extradition laws lead to the biggest protest in decades.


Hong Kong's government is pushing ahead with its controversial plans to introduce new extradition laws despite mass protests.
Although it is a semi-autonomous part of China, Hong Kong does not have an extradition agreement with Beijing.
A proposal would allow for criminal suspects to be sent to countries where there is no extradition treaty.
On Sunday, an estimated one million people protested in Hong Kong in the biggest rally since Britain returned the territory to Chinese rule in 1997.
