💨 Abstract
Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy party, the Democratic Party, voted to dissolve after over 30 years, with 97% of members supporting the decision. This move comes amid a shrinking political landscape due to China's national security law, which has led to the arrest of many activists and the closure of numerous civil society groups. The party, known for advocating universal suffrage, faced declining influence as new pro-democracy groups emerged and Beijing's crackdown intensified.
