Hong Kongese Crisis (Atlantic Resolve)

The Hong Kongese Crisis, aka Hong Kongese War of Independence, is a conflict between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Hong Kong as well as a proxy war between the All-Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. The conflict started on 14 August 2019 when the banned Hong Kong National Party successfully overthrew the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR and subsequently declared independence from the People's Republic of China. Chan Ho-tin, President of the newly formed Republic of Hong Kong, formally requested military assistance from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Within hours, Russian ground forces arrived in Hong Kong. In response, China placed the People's Liberation Army on full alert, ordered a full mobilization of all reserves, and deployed additional troops near Hong Kong as well as the Sino-Russian border. The Russians responded in kind and matched China's deployment along the border.
