One of the most explosive radicalisations of the twenty-first century swept Hong Kong in 2019-20 as a campaign against an extradition bill transformed into a mass rebellion for democratic rights. After millions took to the streets in peaceful demonstrations, the local government unleashed waves of repression. Undeterred, tens of thousands of young workers and high school and university students, backed by an immense solidarity movement, held their ground against heavily armed police across the territory. This collection of writings, complemented by vivid images and artwork of the revolt, provides a frontline account of a city fighting to preserve its autonomy in the face of the Chinese Communist Party's encroachments.

On July 1, 2007, Hong Kong celebrated its tenth anniversary as a special administrative region of China. It also marked the first decade of its unique constitutional order in which Hong Kong courts continue to apply and develop the common law but the power of final interpretation of the constitution lies with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. This book is a collection of chapters by leading constitutional law experts in Hong Kong who examine the interpretive issues and conflicts which have arisen since 1997. Intervention by China in constitutional interpretation has been restrained but each intervention has had significant political and jurisprudential impact. The authors give varied assessments of the struggle for interpretive coherence in the coming decade.
