Mass protests in Hong Kong in 2019 became a part of the growing opposition movement of the reunification with the PRC. Half time allotted by the 1997 Joint Declaration between the UK and the PRC for the gradual reunification with the PRC in 2047 has passed. Despite the close and mutually beneficial economic ties the reunification of the two systems does not occur. On the contrary, a conflict of identities is growing in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong citizens strive to maintain their autonomy and civil liberties. These sentiments are especially strong among the younger generation, which is the main driving force of the protests. The victory of the opponents to the integration with Beijing in the District Council elections in November 2019 could be the beginning of the formation of political opposition to the course for reunification with Chine and cast doubt on the fundamental feasibility of the concept “One state - Two systems”.
2019香港的大规模抗议活动成为了与PRC统一的日益增长的反对派运动的一部分。1997年《中英联合声明》为2047年逐步与中华人民共和国统一而拨出的一半时间已经过去。尽管这两种制度有着密切互利的经济联系,但并没有实现统一。相反,香港特别行政区的身份冲突日益增多。香港市民努力维护自己的自治权和公民自由。这些情绪在年轻一代中尤其强烈,年轻一代是抗议的主要推动力。如果2019年11月,与北京一体化的反对者在区议会选举中获胜,可能是对统一中国道路形成政治反对派的开始,并使人怀疑“一国两制”概念的根本可行性。
