The "Umbrella Revolution" aims to maintain Hong Kong's independence from China (Credit: Pasu Au Yeung /CC BY-SA 2.0/Creative Commons.org)

Hong Kong is known for many things - Its thriving economy, its stellar reputation in the financial markets, unique currency, and most importantly, its ability to remain detached from all politics. However all that changed on September 28th, 2014, when tens of thousands of residents took to the streets calling for "true democracy", marking the start of what is being called the "Umbrella Revolution" thanks to the images of protestors using the parasols to shield themselves against the police pepper spray.
