This talk will highlight how a poor policy decision by the government of Hong Kong was transformed into a crisis that has existential implications for Hong Kong as a highly autonomous Special Administrative Region of China. Steve Tsang will contextualize the views from the streets of Hong Kong, and from the governments of Hong Kong and Beijing, as well as assess the nature of the movement. Steve Tsang will also examine the driving forces behind the key players and on that basis project how this situation will end.
Professor Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard has kindly agreed to make comments on the lecture and after there will be a Q&A session.
