The Future of Democracy in Hong Kong: A Conversation with David Zweig
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:31:49

Description:

On March 26, Carrie Lam was elected by a roughly 1,200 person election committee to become Hong Kong’s next chief executive. Beijing’s clear favorite, Lam won with 777 votes, despite lack of public support from local Hongkongers. While minimal political representation is a familiar matter to those in this “Special Administrative Region” of China, the 2017 election has raised questions and concerns about Hong Kong’s future, especially the potential for political reform. In this episode we sit down with David Zweig to discuss the recent election, why Beijing is exerting a heavier hand, and the future of democracy in Hong Kong.
