I talk with G Sovereignty, a Bitcoiner based in Hong Kong and developing applications on Nostr as well as host of the Nostrovia Podcast. We talk about a presentation that G gave titled Bitcoin vs. The State: Four Phases of War, exploring the power dynamics of Bitcoin, its security model, and the steps that the state may enact as it begins to comprehend the true implications of Bitcoin upon its exorbitant privileges. We also discuss the future of Bitcoin-powered economies and what these might look like. I do recommend you check out G's video presentation in the show notes if you get the chance, its only about 15 minutes, but I found it very insightful. --- Connect with The Transformation of Value X: https://x.com/TTOVpodcast Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t Lightning tip address: codyellingham@getalby.com If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Links: Bitcoin vs. The State: Four Phases of War - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_xgmVLyB94 G Sovereignty on Nostr - https://primal.net/p/npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p Nostrovia Podcast - https://nostrovia.org/ City On Fire: The Hong Kong Protests, Censorship, and Money with Antony Dapiran - https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/episodes/city-on-fire-the-hong-kong-protests-censorship-and-money-with-antony-dapiran

Chaired by Benjamin Law. In his detailed account of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, City on Fire: The Fight for Hong Kong, long-term Hong Kong resident, journalist and lawyer Antony Dapiran reports on the 2019 anti-government protests from the inside. “It is a battle for Hong Kong's very soul,” he writes. Providing important context dating back to the British Handover in 1997, Antony contemplates both the big and small events that led to the tipping point of 2019, and invites the question, what will happen next?
'You're not a real Hong Konger if you haven't tasted tear gas' One Country, Two Systems: the idea lies at the heart of Hong Kong's relationship with China. But in 2019, as Hong Kong locked to change their extradition laws, that central concept appeared to be fraying. And so millions of citizens took to the streets day after day. But why was Hong Kong's protest movement so persistent? And what's next? Antony Dapiran is a Hong Kong-based writer and lawyer and the author of City on Fire: The Fight For Hong Kong.

On July 1st last year, a traditional day of celebration and protest in Hong Kong, pro democracy activists stormed the Legislative Council complex (Leg Co) and broke into the legislative chamber. One protestor, Brian Leung Kai-ping, seized the moment and stood on a desk to deliver a memorable speech calling for solidarity in the protest movement, and for the wider citizenry of Hong Kong to join them in the occupy. It was a speech of such passion and eloquence, the bravest speech we added to Speakola last year. To increase the stakes, Leung removed the mask he had been wearing to reveal his identity to the assembled media, to the Chinese authorities and to the world. In this episode, Tony chats at length to Brain Leung who talks about the movement, the night of the occupy, the speech, and what has happened since. He also talks to author Antony Dapiran, who released City On Fire: The Fight for Hong Kong this year and who is fantastic at explaining a basic political background, If you're well schooled in Hong Kong politics and want to skip Ant's introduction, Brian Leung starts at 30.00mins. After the interviews, we play Leung's speech, first in Cantonese, and then with an English overdub. It's the first foreign language speech we've featured on the podcast, and thanks to Melbourne journalist Wing Huang who voiced the English version. Here is Brian speech with transcript.

Jordan Schneider, the host of ChinaTalk, sat down with Antony Dapiran, Hong Kong-based lawyer and author of two books on protests in Hong Kong. They discussed the history and legacy of the 2019 protests on the anniversary of one of the largest protests in human history, when two million Hongkongers marched against the extradition bill. They talked about the lead-up and aftermath of that day, how protests grew increasingly violent, the new national security law, and how these protests compare and contrast to Black Lives Matter.
This week’s ChinaTalk featured Antony Dapiran going deep with me on the origin, meaning, and legacy of the 2019 Hong Kong protests. We drew parallels and contrasts throughout between HK and Black Lives Matter. If you'd like to help keep the show going, please consider subscribing to my Patreon. An excerpt: What continues to be most tragic for Hong Kong is that the government really has demonized and made enemies of the people who support the protesters and the protesters themselves. Indeed, Carrie Lam, herself has described them as enemies of the people just yesterday. And so the government has made an enemy of an entire generation of its youth and also the engine of its service-led economy, the professional middle class. It’s obviously against the economic self-interest of Hong Kong, but also it's just a tragedy for a government, to divide its own community in that way and to treat the best and brightest of the community as enemies, effectively forcing them either to leave or condemning them to a lifetime of being marginalized and feeling, undervalued and, and, and not, not an accepted part of their own society.

Hong Kong in 2019 was a city on fire. Anti-government protests, sparked by an ill-fated extradition bill sparked seven months of protest and civil unrest. Protestors clashed with police in the streets, in shopping malls, in residential buildings. Driven by Hong Kong's young people with their ‘Be Water!' strategy, the pro-democracy movement grew into a massive force, receiving support from all demographics – from the ‘silver-hairs', to mothers, from healthcare workers, to journalists and bankers, the ongoing protests polarized the community and changed the urban city space, likely forever. In City on Fire: The Fight for Hong Kong (Scribe, 2020), Antony Dapiran builds on his previous work City of Protest. He explores the 2019 protest movement, how it has changed the city and what Hong Kong means for the world. Dapiran gets you as close to the action as you can be, without having to experience the direct effects of being tear-gassed. This is a must read for anyone interested Hong Kong, China, democracy and human rights. It is a lesson in policing, in protest, and the power of political mobilization. It is a page turner that is essential to understanding Hong Kong's ‘revolution of our times.' Jane Richards is a doctoral candidate in Human Rights Law at the University of Hong Kong.

I 1997 blei Hong Kong gitt tilbake frå Storbritannia til Kina etter å ha vore britisk koloni i over 100 år. Kor mykje styrer Kina i Hong Kong i dag, og vil det vere noko att av Hong Kongs kultur, språk og fridom etter at Kina for fullt overtar i 2047? Antony Dapiran har budd og arbeidd som forretningsadvokat i Kina, både i Beijing og i Hong Kong, i meir enn 20 år. Dapiran har skrive fleire bøker om Hong Kong, og i den siste, The City on Fire: The fight for Hong Kong (2020) skriv han om kva dagens protestar vil bety for framtida til Hong Kong og Kinas plass i verda. Han møter jussprofessor Jørn Øyrehagen Sunde til samtale om fridom, juss og rettsstaten i vanskelege tider.

After more than a century as a British colony, Hong Kong was returned by the UK to China in 1997. How much does Beijing govern the city today and will there be anything left of its culture, language and freedom after China takes full control in 2047? Antony Dapiran has lived and worked as a commercial lawyer in China – both Beijing and Hong Kong – for more than 20 years, and has written several books on Hong Kong. In the latest, The City on Fire: The fight for Hong Kong (2020), he discusses what today’s protests will mean for the city’s future and China’s place in the world. He meets law professor Jørn Øyrehagen Sunde for a conversation on freedom, law and the constitutional state in difficult times. In English.
Hong Kong has been a leading trade and financial centre for decades. In June 2019, the government of the former British colony presented a bill on extradition to China. That unleashed massive but peaceful demonstrations which eventually led to further demands for democratic reforms. What will happen when the city state becomes a full part of China in 2047? Lawyers and activists Antony Dapiran and Jason Y Ng in Hong Kong have both recently published books on the protest movement. They are at LitFestBergen to tell us what is happening and what the future might bring. Their conversation will be moderated by Kjersti Løken Stavrum, chair of Norwegian PEN. The conversation is in English.

Our focus is Hong Kong and our podcast features Antony Dapiran, author of “City of Protest: A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong.” “Hong Kong is a city with a long history of civil disobedience.” So begins the book blurb on Amazon.com for a now-sold-out book published in July 2017. It was a timeless observation on the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s Handover. It is a timely observation today with most in Hong Kong wondering what’s next. “We are on the cusp of what could be a general breakdown of law and order. It hasn’t gotten there yet, but the government hasn’t done anything to stop it," said Antony Dapiran in The New York Times on 5 August 2019, "City of Protest is a compelling look at the often-fraught relationship between politics and belonging, and a city’s struggle to assert itself." Listen to Antony as we discuss the changes and challenges facing Hong Kong today. You can follow him on Twitter @AntD.

Hong Kong's streets are increasingly filled with violence as protesters clash with police following the local government's consideration of a bill which would make extradition easier to mainland China. The Crisis Next Door host Jason Brooks talks about the protests and Hong Kong's future with Antony Dapiran, a Hong Kong-based writer, lawyer and author of "City of Protest: A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong".

This week, we speak again with Antony Dapiran, a corporate lawyer in Hong Kong and the author of City of Protest: A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong, to catch up on the fast-moving events in the former British colony. Antony talks about the occupation of the Legislative Council (LegCo) building by protesters, the curious decision by Hong Kong authorities to allow the occupation of that building — which has usually been a red line, to be defended at all costs — and the support that this seems to have within the broader movement. We also discuss reactions of mainland Chinese to events in Hong Kong and ponder what could come next. Listen to Antony’s earlier interview on Sinica: Umbrella Revolution 2.0 – or something else? Antony Dapiran on the Hong Kong demonstrations. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast: 4:51: July 1 is a public holiday in Hong Kong that celebrates the creation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This year, members of the Legislative Council, including Chief Executive Carrie Lam, celebrated a bit differently, as Antony recounts: “Traditionally, the morning of that day has been marked by a flag-raising ceremony at [Golden] Bauhinia Square at the convention center, which was the site of the ceremony itself…This year, protestors had indicated that they were planning to protest that flag-raising ceremony. And, as a result, the whole area was sealed off by police. Carrie Lam and all the dignitaries were forced to watch the flag-raising ceremony from inside [the LegCo building].” 8:19: Antony describes the scene around the LegCo building on the afternoon of July 1. After “a good six or seven hours” of the protestors “battering away” at tempered-glass windows, protestors breached and briefly occupied the building. The passivity of the police puzzled onlookers. After protestors broke through, the police withdrew. Antony has doubts about the explanation given by the Hong Kong Police: “The police themselves said there were ‘operational challenges’ using things like tear gas and pepper spray, but again, I’ve seen them using those very tools in that same space before, so I don’t quite buy that.” Another theory Antony has heard suggests that the Hong Kong government made a deliberate choice to “allow the protestors to do this, possibly as something of a calculated gamble that in doing this, they would do themselves a disservice or do some harm to their own image and cause the protests themselves to lose support across the broader community.” 13:57: Antony explains that the protestors vandalized the LegCo building in a “very targeted and highly symbolic fashion,” with a focus on “symbols of the Hong Kong government’s undemocratic control of Hong Kong and symbols of Beijing state power.” Books in the library were left untouched, and cash was left for drinks taken from refrigerators. However, in the main legislative chamber, individuals spray-painted over the portion of Hong Kong’s official emblem that says “The People’s Republic of China.” Antony: “Certainly, I think there was a sense that the way in which [the protestors] went about it was not a wanton act of destruction, but a carefully considered symbolic act.” 21:53: Antony forecasts what he thinks will ensue as a result of the continued dissatisfaction among the Hong Kong populace. More protests are to come, “in all of the 18 districts in Hong Kong over the coming weeks and months,” which could signal a call to action to the broader population outside of the central business district. “This movement is, in interesting ways, unlike past protest movements in Hong Kong, really spreading out among the people,” he states. “That combined with the desire to keep up the pressure from the protestors’ side is going to create a really interesting dynamic if the government can’t find its way to doing something to defuse the situation and start giving people something that they want.” Recommendations: Jeremy: A thread on Twitter by novelist Jeannette Ng on the topic of Mulan, which contains this Foreign Policy article that describes the many different versions of the story. Antony: The Mekong Review, a quarterly literary journal focused on Southeast Asia. Kaiser: Peter Hessler’s new book, The Buried: An Archaeology of the Egyptian Revolution.
Millions have turned out in Hong Kong to protest China's growing influence in their city. Meanwhile, Chinese leader Xi Jinping faces pressure at the G20 summit from the US China Trade War and President Trump. To learn more about Hong Kong protesters, joining us is Antony Dapiran, a HK-based writer, lawyer, and photographer. He’s also the author of the book “City of Protest: A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong.” Follow him on Twitter! @antd Twitter @chinauncensored @shelzhang
Antony Dapiran is a seasoned corporate lawyer who has worked in Hong Kong and Beijing for the last two decades. In that time, he’s become a historian of protests in Hong Kong and the author of City of Protest: A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong (2017), which explores the idea of protest as an integral part of Hong Kong’s identity. In a conversation with Kaiser and Jeremy, Antony brings a historical perspective to his analysis of the current demonstrations over the highly unpopular extradition bill, the shelving of which has not slaked the anger of demonstrators. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast: 7:46: Reports emerged last week that suggested that the extradition bill, met with fierce opposition in Hong Kong, originated from the office of Chief Executive Carrie Lam, rather than in Beijing. Antony provides his take on this development: “People felt it could only be the hand of Beijing behind this, directing the Hong Kong administration to do it. Otherwise, why would it be done in such a roughshod fashion on such an issue that was clearly going to be of great sensitivity in Hong Kong and potentially against the interest of the Hong Kong community? Notwithstanding how surprising it is, it really does raise questions about the competence of Carrie Lam and her administration.” 12:10: Given the stark pushback against the bill, did Lam and her team see this coming? As a career civil servant, she has never had to undergo a general election, so this fumble could be a result of “cluelessness,” according to Antony. “There are a number of jokes going around Hong Kong that she doesn’t know how to catch the MTR, or that when she first moved into the Chief Executive’s residence, she didn’t know where to buy toilet paper.” 13:57: Is the comparison to the Umbrella Movement of 2015 an apt one? Antony gives us his opinion: “They organized and mobilized themselves rather by way of online chat forums, private messaging groups on Telegram and WhatsApp — it’s even being said that they’re using AirDrop to communicate instructions and messages on the ground. And that is a really strong contrast to the Umbrella Movement of five years ago, which, even as a student movement, had very clear leadership and was very much centrally organized.” He continues, “I think part of the reason why the protesters, this time around, are avoiding that model is precisely a direct response to the Hong Kong government’s aggressive prosecution and jailing of the Umbrella Movement leaders.” 24:46: What has happened since the Umbrella Movement in 2015? “The Umbrella Movement was regarded as a failure — it didn’t achieve its aims,” Antony states. “And then, in the five years since then, the Hong Kong government has steadily tightened the screws on dissent in the city… Using the cover of the legal system and Hong Kong’s rule of law has resulted in what I call a campaign of ‘lawfare’ for that reason.” 35:57: What of the leadership in Beijing and its take on the protests, and the handling of the protests by the Hong Kong government? Antony explains: “The vacuum that’s likely to be left by the much diminished authority of Carrie Lam in itself presents either an opportunity or a threat.” The opportunity being that, while the Legislative Council has “almost been reduced to rubber stamp function,” this may reinvigorate legislators in Hong Kong — whereas the threat may be that Beijing sees the vacuum as Hong Kong’s inability to govern itself, and “decides that it needs to intervene.” Recommendations: Jeremy: A Twitter account, @finnegansreader, which is a bot reading James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake line by line. There is a sister account for the author’s Ulysses, @ulyssesreader. Antony: The author Dung Kai-cheung, and his masterpiece, Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City. Kaiser: Total War: Three Kingdoms, a turn-based strategy game by Creative Assembly, and John Zhu’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms podcast.
In Marx's 18th Brumaire he provides his famous quote about history repeating "First as tragedy, then as Farce". So what is unfolding in Hong Kong? Why are Hong Kong Tycoons who flourished under Beijing's rule turning against their former masters? Why are protesters who never knew democracy under imperial British rule marching with the Union Jack? To find out, we spoke with Antony Dapiran an Attorney with over 20 years experience litigating in both Hong Kong and Beijng. Antony also has written one of the best books for understanding contemporary protests in Hong Kong: City of Protest: A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong Is Hong Kong protesting for a future that doesn't exist, or for a past that never was? Do we march first against Beijing and then against the Tycoons? What to make of a world of illiberal democracy versus Authoritarianism are our only choices? All this and more in Part 3 of our series on the Hong Kong Protests! This is easily one of my favorite interviews. I know you will love it to!
