Reflections:
This article explained the background and the cause of Hong Kong’s Democracy movement, which is connected to my chosen topic. And my chosen resources of my rhetorical analysis may mention little about the cause of the matter but to analyze the successive events and another dimension on this event that Beijing blocked the news. So this article help reader understand more about the whole view of the protest and also provided me with detailed information about the political relationship between Hong Kong and Beijing.
Notes/Summary:
Occupy Central(和平佔中 in traditional Chinese): an advocacy group for universal suffrage in Hong Kong in 2014 using nonviolent civil disobedience
Hong Kong Basic Law: It refers that “the ultimate aim“ is to elect the executive “by universal suffrage”, which provides law support with Hong Kong people to fight for their autonomy.
The main argument of this article is to introduce the cultural background as well as history connection between Hong Kong and China, and reflected the current situation in Hong Kong both among people against the Beijing decision and those do not want to annoy Beijing.
