Hong Kong Protesters Say 'Phoeey!' to China's Extradition Bill

Hundreds of thousands of residents in the city state have taken to the streets in protest of an Extradition Bill with China that analysts say is a larger objection to its autonomy, suspicious that the world's largest economy wants more control of the autonomous region that many see is an affront to the ages-old "One Country Two Systems" model.

For more insights, we speak to Samson Yuen, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
