The Rise And Fall Of Democracy In Hong Kong by Austin O'Connell published on 2022-03-20T02:23:09Z Genre NPR Podcast Comment by Austin O'Connell This podcast delves into the history of Hong Kong and the development of its political system. We discuss major historical events which created the nation as we know it today such as the Chinese Dynasties, The Opium Wars, Colonialism, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and the “One Country, two systems” model. We then move on to topics such as the Umbrella Movement, the Extradition Bill, and how China is increasingly asserting power over the island. We also attempt to send a message to the world about everyone’s role in saving democracy in Hong Kong. We emphasize the importance of immediate action by the main-stream media in spreading awareness of the people of Hong Kong’s fight to keep their freedom. 2022-03-21T00:04:49Z
