2019–2020 Hong Kong protests, Protest movement in Hong Kong
The 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests were a series of massive demonstrations, widely attended strikes, and several violent incidents across Hong Kong.
Achieving notable global attention, the protest movement began in June 2019 in opposition to an extradition bill proposed by the government of Hong Kong.
Often referred to as 'Be Water', the movement represented notable strategic fluidity, employing flash-mob-type actions with participants quickly assembling and disassembling.
The protests have had significant impacts on Hong Kong's business environment and tourism industry.
Unlike previous movements, this protest was largely leaderless, organized via online forums and apps.
