Hong Kong's biggest pro-democracy party plans to shut down as Beijing's crackdown on the
00:06
territory intensifies.
00:09
Developing democracy in Hong Kong is always difficult, and it's especially difficult in
00:17
the past few years. We see a lot of civil society groups or political parties disbanding
00:23
or dissolving. This is not what we wanted to see.
00:29
The Democratic Party was founded in 1994 and became the primary opposition party in
00:35
the territory. Since China introduced a national security law in 2020, Hong Kong's pro-democracy
00:42
movement has come under more pressure. The law restricts anti-China political activities
00:48
while promoting so-called patriotic leaders. Several members of the Democratic Party, including
00:55
one of its former chairs, have been jailed under the security law.
