Description
Instructions on how to join this meeting will be sent the day before the program.
Risking new protests and a new flash point with the United States, China has moved to tighten its hold on Hong Kong, most recently imposing new national security laws and bypassing the territory’s own legislative process. In the context of a series of other aggressive actions in the region, is China abandoning soft power to secure geopolitical gains and diplomatic advantage while the world is mired in pandemic response? Steven Lee Myers, the Beijing bureau chief for The New York Times, was expelled from China in March and will join the World Affairs Council to discuss what to expect if Hong Kong is just the start.
