Panel: Five years on, what has Hong Kong gained from its national security law?
Manage episode 492558702 series 3453104
It’s been five years since the enactment of a national security law in Hong Kong following the unrest in the city in 2019. The law defines four categories of offenses: secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with external forces to endanger national security. In a recent signed article, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee said the Hong Kong society has remained stable and prosperous since the law’s implementation.
How has the law safeguarded the practice of “One Country, Two Systems” in Hong Kong? How has the restoration of stability revitalized the city’s development dynamics? Host Ding Heng is joined by Professor Yao Shujie, Deputy Director of the Department of Social Sciences, Chongqing University; Edward Lehman, Managing Director of LEHMAN, LEE & Xu Law Firm; Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow of Taihe Institute and Chairman of Asia Narratives Substack.
