Hong Kong (Unilateral Declaration of Independence)

Protests originally occurred in Hong Kong in 2014, but ended after strong movements against them, as well as promises by the former SAR government. Protests, however, began again in 2016 after Beijing attempted to enforce new Restriction Laws. Originally peaceful protests with few arrests, the protests experienced violence on the 18th July, with over 250 protestors, police and by-standers injured; two days later, 20 protesters were killed in further clashes. Finally, large scale violence began after footage of police beating unarmed protesters was released.

On the 28th of July, protesters storm an armory and seize guns and anti-riot gear, amongst other equipment, with some reports even of some police detachments defecting.

The Unrest took an organized turn on the 4th August, when the "Provisional Democratic Government of Hong Kong" was established, prompting China to declare a local state of emergency, and to remove Leung Chun-ying from the HK SAR due to incompetence and failure to avert the crisis. The Legislative Council (LegCo) was also dissolved, replacing with a rump "legislature" led by the Pro-Beijing parties; however, former members of the LegCo, mainly from the opposition (both Localist and Hong Kong Nationalist) and former pro-Beijing legislators (some of which from the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions) responded by the creation of the Hong Kong Legislative Assembly. From there, The Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was then issued, the former coat of arms of Hong Kong was reinstated, a flag based from the coat of arms been raised, and finally, the former hymn of the "Royal Hong Kong Police" was played as the official anthem.

Events went further in the direction of the rioters-turned-militia after major defections occured within the Police and former PLA officers to the Provisional Government, forming the nucleus of the Hong Kong Defence Force (HKDF). Such sporadic actions from Hong Kong (and in extension, portions of Guandong province) resorted to military action on the 23rd of August by the Chinese Government, against both the militas and the HKDF. With the first, small numbers landing in the New Territories. The actions, however, faced stiff resistance with the HKDF engaging in urban guerilla warfare and propaganda urging PLA officers to defect. Attempts to use missiles been discussed by Chinese officers, however,  Trade was also disrupted, making most Hongkongers resorted to the black market for their necessary needs.

A month later, volunteers, mainly former British and American Army officers and men were confirmed to be fighting alongside the separatist government, causing a stir between US/British and Chinese relations. The MI6 and CIA also provided covert support through firearms and equipment, thus making the British and American governments recognise the separatist cause.

==Politics=

Initially formed as a provisional government adheres to the principles of "One Country Two Systems", Hong Kong eventually issued a "Unilateral Declaration of Independence" (UDI) at the former Legislative Council building.

The UDI was based, almost similar to the UDI of the former Rhodesian republic. It stated the inital call for preserving Hong Kong's autonomy as a "Special Administrative Region", but eventually leading to the establishment of a new state by a subnational entity which declares itself independent and sovereign without a formal agreement with the national state from which it is seceding. It even mocked the Chinese Government by inserting the words "God Save the Queen" reaffirming the former colonizer as its benefactor of the city's development.

Military
Initially formed as a ragtag militia of students, businesspeople, ordinary workers, and defected Hong Kong Police and PLA officers, the Hong Kong Defence Force are lightly armed with weapons that were either captured or turned over from police station and the nearby PLA garrison. However due to the lack of weaponry, the militias have been spotted to use improvised weapons such as pipes, knives, cricket bats, riot gear, molotov cocktails and fireworks. Their vehicles are composed of makeshift armed vehicles, armored trucks, police cars, armored riot vans, urban pacification vehicles, police helicopters, and police patrol boats.

The Government of the Republic of China, whom recognised the existence of the separatist government, has supplied them with weapons and material. Members of the Special Forces of the Republic of China Armed Forces have been reported to fight alongside the HKDF.

In addition to that, volunteers from Great Britain and the United States (mostly former Special Forces) joined the action, providing spearatists with war material and other forms of aid. There are also alleged reports of CIA and MI6 operatives present in the area.
