What impact is the security law having on Hong Kong?
Show Notes

Beijing imposed a wide-ranging national security law on Hong Kong in June 2020. It claims this has quelled unrest, improved stability for business and settled the issue of sovereignty. However, many Hong Kongers feel their basic freedoms have been curtailed and there’s been a backlash against China from democratic countries, including America and the UK. In this podcast, the Director of the SOAS China Institute, Professor Steve Tsang, discusses how the security law is changing Hong Kong’s society with the Editor of Asian Affairs magazine, Duncan Bartlett.
