From the anti-extradition bill amendment law protests in Hong Kong to the pro-democracy, monarchy reform movement in Thailand and the anti-coup civil resistance in Myanmar, Asia has witnessed a new surge of democracy movements in recent years. Amid the series of protests, activists across the region began to form an online, international network of protestors called "Milk Tea Alliance," which utilized social media, especially its hashtag function, to share protest tactics and other information under the hashtag #MilkTeaAlliance
