The Edition at Christmas: the Hong Kong one
It’s been a protest unlike any other that China has seen. Since June, hundreds of thousands – by some estimates millions – of Hong Kongers have protested against the government. What was sparked by opposition to an extradition bill that would allow Hong Kongers to face trial in the mainland, has now turned into a six month long pro-democracy movement. So how significant are these protests, and have they got any closer to their goal? With Professor Kerry Brown and Isabella Steger.Presented by Cindy Yu. Hosted on Acast.
