Karpovich O.G. Color “Umbrella Revolution” in Hong Kong: the beginning of “Chinese Spring”

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the research on new calls and threats to the international security in Southeast Asia emerged as a result of systemic political destabilization of the situation in Hong Kong (a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China) in 2014 as a consequence of attempting to foment a color revolution. The author draws the analogies with the development of a political crisis in Ukraine in 2013–2014 and emphasizes a drastically precise conjunction between the two scenarios of the 2014 “revolutions’ in Kiev (Euromaidan) and in Hong Kong (“Yellow Revolution”, which later was named the “Umbrella Revolution”). The methodological foundation of this research consists in the systemic, structural-functional, comparative-political and problematic approaches, methods of analysis, synthesis, observation and modeling. The author comes to a conclusion that the recent events in Ukraine and China, which were labeled as color revolutions, are the outcome of using the same technologies of organizing government overthrow and disassembly of the political regimes.


Keywords:
