Hong Kong Today

from Dissidents and Dictators

This episode discusses the deterioration of freedoms in Hong Kong since the implementation of the national security law, and highlights the Chinese government's aggression. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has continuously tried to suppress Hong Kong’s civil society, and the national security law — alarming legislation aimed at eradicating the pro-democracy movement — has been the final “nail in the coffin.” The draconian national security law and the resulting erosion of civil liberties must serve as a warning to all democratic countries about the Chinese government’s disregard of human rights. Guests include Hong Kong activists-in-exile, Sunny Cheung and Anna Kwok, from the Hong Kong Democracy Council. Washington Post journalist and columnist Josh Rogin moderates this conversation.
