As the People’s Republic of China celebrated its 70th anniversary on October 1, 2019, anti-government protesters in Hong Kong were blocking roads, setting fires and throwing petrol bombs. Police have arrested hundreds of protestors, one as young as 12, and have been accused of using excessive force. What has let to this state of conflict, in a city previously known for its tradition of peaceful protests and a restrained police force? Two visiting experts from Hong Kong will share their observations regarding the protests and analyze how the unrest – and China’s response to it – could affect Hong Kong and the rest of the region.

Demonstrations against a controversial proposal to allow extradition to Mainland China have escalated into a much broader public protest against Beijing’s increased interference in the “high degree of autonomy” that was promised when Hong Kong transitioned from a British Colony to a Special Administrative Region of China. Academics who have lived and worked in Hong Kong will analyze the underlying causes of the unrest and the implications for “One Country, Two Systems” as a form of regional autonomy.
