In a nutshell.....The people of Hong Kong do not like their appointed political leaders and want them to resign and hold fair elections..

 
British and other western powers crushed China in Opium Wars

British more or less took Hong Kong

Eventually, ~50 years later, they legalized seizure by "leasing" Hong Kong for 99 years

Hong Kong boomed

In 1997 99 years was up and British gave Hong Kong back to China

Hong Kong residents not happy and British extracted promises from China about democratic future

China reaffirmed those promises in 2007

China now working to break promises and ensure only govt-backed 'candidates' can win elections

Hong Kong residents calling BS
