Hong Kong Postponing Legislative Elections amid COVID-19

However, Pro-Democracy supporters have accused the government of using the outbreak as an excuse to postpone the elections.

Hong Kong, saw over 80 straight weeks of protests over government overreach. The postponement is seen as a major blow to the Pro-Democracy movement.
