Claudia Rosett, Foreign Policy Fellow at Independent Women’s Forum, joins the Jewish Policy Center to discuss Hong Kong’s “finest hour” and why it may also be its last as an autonomous entity under the flag of China.
Hundreds of thousands and sometimes more than one million of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million residents have protested repeatedly since Beijing accelerated its erasure of their “one country, two systems” arrangement last year. This means “they will not go gently into the night” of President Xi Jinping’s brutal dictatorship, Rosett told hundreds of participants on a Jewish Policy Center conference call June 11. She also discusses why Hong Kong might thereby inspire mainland Chinese.
