What changes have been proposed?
Hong Kong currently has extradition agreements with 20 jurisdictions across the world, including Australia.
But the Hong Kong Government isnow seeking to change the law to enable extradition to any jurisdiction with which it doesn't have an agreement.
That includes Taiwan, Macau and mainland China,which has been excluded from agreements in the past because of concerns over its 'judicial independence and human rights record'.
Hong Kong's chief executive, Carrie Lam, says without the changes, Hong Kong risks becoming a haven for criminals from the mainland.
BUT NOT China....
