One Country, Two Cultures: Can Hong Kong Find Its Way?
China Institute
What is behind the upheaval in Hong Kong? Today, 23 years after China committed to abide by “one country, two systems” in the former British colony, more young Hong Kong people identify themselves as “Hong Kongers” rather than as “Chinese.” A massive protest movement is raising questions that strike at the very core of the city’s cultural and political identity. What does it mean to be a “Hong Konger,” what is at stake for the city’s citizens, and what could a newly politicized Hong Kong mean for the city’s future as a world financial center? Johns Hopkins Professor of Sociology Ho-Fung Hung joins New Yorker writer Jiayang Fan in an exploration of history to understand what is to come. 40 Rector Street.$10,$20
