The protests in Hong Kong, Ecuador, Bolivia, Iraq and many other places should worry those who love peace.The people of Hong Kong have been demonstrating for months. It appears the protests are about the fear of China ruling Hong Kong and the nature and complexities of the relationship between China and Hong Kong. The point is, for how long will China with its military might, allow Hong Kong to operate as a semi-autonomous region. After the Chinese war with Britain, Article 12 that created Hong Kong also created the current problem. The unrest in Hong Kong is largely political.In Iraq, the BBC reported that the protests were about corruption unemployment and economic hardships.
