READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer from the four choices (A, B, C, or D).

In 1984, the U.K. and China signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration outlining their plan for Hong Kong. This
declaration stipulated that Hong Kong would become a part of China on July 1, 1997, but that the “current
social and economic systems” and “life-style” in Hong Kong would remain the same for 50 years. In this “one
country, two systems” arrangement, Hong Kong would continue operating in a capitalist economy, and
residents would continue to have rights to speech, press, assembly and religious belief, among others—at least
until 2047.

In 2019, protests broke out over a proposed bill that many Hong Kong residents would violate the “one
country, two systems” arrangement by allowing extradition to mainland China. The bill would allow local
authorities to detain and extradite fugitive offenders who are wanted in territories that Hong Kong does not
have extradition agreements with, including mainland China and Taiwan.

The bill's critics argued that it could lead to what some have described as "legalized kidnapping." At the time,
some younger protesters expressed concern about what life will be like in Hong Kong when the expiration date
for this arrangement passes in 2047.
