The Article 23 Concern Group led the massive protest against the proposed legislation. The Hong Kong government later withdrew the legislative proposal after more than 500,000 people protested against the proposal, one of the largest protest since the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China. Davis has advocated for political reform and universal suffrage in Hong Kong and around Asia for more than two decades. His prolific commentary have been seen in newspapers such as The New York Times, the South China Morning Post, the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the Nikkei Business Magazine, the Far Eastern Economic Review, and the Apple Daily, as well as quasi-academic media such as Yale Global. He has appeared for interviews on crucial human rights topics in such broadcast media as CNN, the BBC, National Public Radio and NBC News. He expressed his sympathy for the 2014 Hong Kong Umbrella Movement and argued non-violent civil disobedience did not undermine rule of law in Hong Kong,[5] that the government's loose interpretation of the Basic Law posed a greater threat. As a result of his numerous commentaries that year, Amnesty International and the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondence Club awarded him the 2014 Human Rights Press Award for commentary.[6] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.law.hku.hk/research/knowledge_exchange_me.php|title=Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong » Research » Research Profile|last=www.beansbox.com|first=Copyright by HKU Faculty of Law.
