| The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law promise that Hong Kong will enjoy a high degree of autonomy and its capitalist system and freedoms shall remain unchanged for 50 years. As the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region celebrates its 25th anniversary on July 1, how did the territory fare in the first 25 years and what will the next 25 years look like? Our speaker, veteran politician Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, believes success for “One Country, Two Systems” will hinge on whether Beijing can resume dialogue with the pan-democrats of the opposition camp and move toward full universal suffrage. Moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
