Conflicts between Hong Kong and China usually stem from cultural and economic differences between the two entities. Many residents of Hong Kong have different values from those living in mainland China due to decades of British influence. One of the most recent and largest conflicts between the two was the mass protests of 2019 and 2020 in which roughly two million Hong Kong residents reportedly participated. The protests were in response to the proposal of an extradition bill that would enable the extradition of dissidents to mainland China from Hong Kong.
