New Hong Kong National Security Law Authorizes Beijing Absolute Power - What's Next?

Approximately a year after Hong Kong’s protests against the 2019 extradition bill and one day before the 23rd anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to China in 1997, Beijing unilaterally passed a new national security law directed at controlling political dissent. The law has broad political implications on every day lives of Hong Kong people, ranging from their freedom of speech and to the territory’s special trading status. In the first episode of “Real Talk with J & Y,” Jennifer brings in her experiences working at Penn Biden Center in Washington DC and Yvonne examines the China-Hong Kong relationship from an economic perspective.
