Democratic Party Disbands in Hong Kong
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Hong Kongs Democratic Party, a longstanding advocate for democratic reforms, officially disbanded following years of pressure from Beijing. The party, a cornerstone of Hong Kongs political landscape since 1994, dissolved after a nearly unanimous vote, with only four members abstaining. This move comes after a period of intense scrutiny and the implementation of a national security law, which has led to the arrest of several prominent party members. The disbandment highlights the challenging environment faced by opposition groups in Hong Kong and raises questions about the future of its one country, two systems arrangement.
