Hong Kong needs revolutionary leadership

Massive civil society protests have continued in Hong Kong. Commencing on 9 June, we’ve seen millions of people march, originally against the introduction of the extradition bill, but now the movement has raised a number of demands including full suffrage for the people of Hong Kong. Accent of Women first covered this issue in June, and you can go back and listen to that podcast, which is posted to our page on 3CR’s website. Since that broadcast, much has happened in Hong Kong. We’ve seen the formal entry of the workers movement, we’ve seen right wing elements assert themselves in the movement – what happens now is a matter of political analysis. And to have that conversation with me, I welcome back Carol Ng, the elected women’s officer of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions.
