Why Democracy in Hong Kong Matters

Event Info: http://china.usc.edu/calendar/why-dem... Beijing's recent pronouncements that only "patriotic" Hong Kong people can stand for chief executive coupled with violent attacks on the media have raised concerns about basic rights and freedoms in the territory of 7 million people. With the 2017 and 2020 elections on the horizon, Chinese leaders are making increasingly clear they intend to install politicians they can control, an ominous sign for Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms---not to mention the economy, which relies on transparency and the rule of law. Martin Lee and Anson Chan, two veteran political leaders known and respected for their decades of service in Hong Kong's legislature and government, will outline the growing threats to democracy in Hong Kong and what can be done to defend rights and freedoms in Hong Kong.
