💨 Abstract

Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy party, the Democratic Party, has moved towards possible disbandment, following a vote by over 90% of its members. The decision comes amidst China's crackdown on dissent in the city, as political freedoms erode. The party's moderate stance and negotiations with Beijing have made it a pressure group, with some members facing consequences if they didn't shut down.
