Alex Chow, a prominent leader of Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement, describes the fight for democracy, his incarceration and life in exile.The Umbrella Movement of 2014 saw scores of people occupying main squares around the city, putting up umbrellas to protect themselves against the pepper spray police used to disperse the crowds. Then, in 2019, pro-democracy protests against a controversial extradition bill were, once again, met with police brutality, arrests and prison sentences, and many were forced to flee and live in exile.Alex tells Nicola about his seven-month prison sentence, his ongoing fight for democracy and the impact his work has had on his family.Host: Nicola KellyProducer: Christopher HootonMusic: Julian WhartonSound design: Rick Morris

Successive series of protests have occurred in Hong Kong against extradition amendments. While the bill is officially suspended, the protests have increased to include those who distrust mainland China and the Hong Kong government. What does this civil discourse mean for the future of Hong Kong and its people? Reporter Benjamin Polazzon spoke to PhD candidate Victor Yim from Melbourne University's Asia Institute to get a better understanding of the situation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

China's new National Security Law that Hong Kongers were dreading didn't keep them from protesting this week. Thousands turned out, and hundreds were arrested. The risks they're taking are greater than ever: not only is there an ongoing pandemic, but protesters face life in prison if they're arrested and convicted of any of a suite of new offences that were created on Tuesday. So why do they keep showing up, even when they feel no hope? Today on The Signal, we speak to three women from the pro-democracy movement, to try to understand what drives them to keep taking the risk.

On October 1 as Beijing celebrated the seventieth anniversary of the foundation of the People's Republic of China, pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong intensified. This was the 184th day of action by the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement. Despite the Extradition Bill being recently rescinded, the protests show no sign of stopping. You might be one of the Google users who made ‘Hong Kong' among the most searched endings to the Google question ‘What's going on in…?' Our latest Behind the Headlines discussion seeks to answer that question, focusing on the escalating protests in the former British colony and exploring Hong Kong's turbulent relationship with China. Speakers Padraig Gallagher lived in Hong Kong for 10 years during the 90s and more recently from 2007 - 2009. He is a former Managing Director Global Banking & Markets with HSBC in Hong Kong. He will look at the economic impact of the events of recent months and will also look at the reaction of the different sections of the Hong Kong business community to the present situation. He will also look at the international reaction to the crisis, especially from corporates with operations in Asia / Hong Kong. Dr Isabella Jackson is an Assistant Professor in Chinese Studies at Trinity's School of Histories and Humanities. She will look at how Beijing has framed the current protests in the context of foreign interference, and how this is a legacy of China's century of national humiliation – the period of imperialism by western powers in China. Dr Peter E Hamilton is an Assistant Professor of Modern Chinese History in the Department of History, Trinity College Dublin. He will provide an historical overview of the 1980s-1990s handover process that led the United Kingdom to return this former colony to China as a Special Administrative Region on July 1, 1997. He will explain how the handover process defined the ‘One Country, Two Systems' policy and set terms for today's conflict. Dr Chung Kam Kwok is a Research Fellow based in the School of Linguistic, Speech and Communication Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, researching in the area of language and identity. As a Hong Kong native, he will talk about the motivations of a generation of protesters trying to voice Hong Kong's frustration at Chinese control in the region. Looking at the intensifying protest movement, he will ask how will Hong Kong become governable again? The Trinity Long Room Hub Behind the Headlines series is supported by the John Pollard Foundation.

“For this very small city of 7 million people being able to stand up to this ruthless machine, for sure it is inspiring to other people in different countries.”- Denise Ho- - - - -Hong Kong has a complicated political history, which must be understood to understand the current protests.For 156 years, Hong Kong was under British rule, but on June 1st 1997, it was returned to Chinese sovereignty. As part of the handover negotiations, it was agreed that Hong Kong would operate under ’one country, two systems', a principal outlined in The Basic Law. The treaty agreed between China and Britain would maintain the rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong for 50 years.In 2014, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress proposed reforms to the Hong Kong electoral system. These proposed changes were seen by many as oppressive and allow the pre-screening of political candidates by the Chinese Communist Party. As such, the people of Hong Kong recognised the changes as anti-democratic and a clear indication that Hong Kong had failed to achieve universal suffrage, outlined under Basic Law.What followed was a series of protests, often referred to as the Umbrella Revolution. Starting in September 2014 protesters demonstrated outside government buildings and brought the city to a standstill by occupying many key intersections which remained closed to traffic for 77 days. Police intervened, and their use of excessive force, tear gas and the brutality shown to protesters led to a backlash from the citizens and escalating tensions.Denise Ho, a Cantopop star and human rights activist, was an active supporter of the Umbrella Revolution. During the protests, Denise and a group of high profile demonstrators were arrested. For this and her action of speaking out against the Chinese authoritarian regime, the Chinese government blacklisted Denise.In 2019, Hong Kong again witnessed mass protests in response to the Hong Kong governments extradition bill. Extradition from Hong Kong to mainland China would put residents at risk of facing the Chinese justice system and thus a tool to suppress political opposition.Following months of violent protests, the Chinese government formally withdrew the Extradition Bill on October 23rd. While this appeared to outsiders as a victory for the people of Hong Kong, demonstrations are ongoing as protestors are seeking further protection of their rights:- The government to withdraw the use of the word "riot" instead of protest- Amnesty for protesters- An independent commission enquiry into police brutality- Universal suffrageIn this interview, I speak to Denise Ho, a singer, LGBTQI activist and pro-democracy campaigner from Hong Hong.

Alex Chan is a Hong Kong citizen and an activist participating in the current Extradition Bill protests. He also took part in the in the 2014 Umbrella Protests in Hong Kong. Chan shares his personal experiences being on the ground floor of the protests and his thoughts on the struggle for a  true democratic Hong Kong. Disclaimer: The name of my guest in this episode has been altered to protect their identity.

Hong Kong has been in turmoil for months, as residents in their millions continue to take to the streets. What started as a protest against an extradition bill has grown into a full blown movement for democracy. As the protests have grown, the central government has deployed disinformation strategies to shape public perception of what's happening on the ground, and has accused the United States of fomenting the unrest. How have the protests changed since they started this summer? How has the Chinese government's response evolved? And how do ordinary people in Beijing think about the protests? Jen talks to Steven Lee Myers of the New York Times, who has been reporting from the ground in both Hong Kong and Beijing, about what might change Beijing's calculations in the future.

The center of Hurricane Dorian, now a Category 2 storm, is moving parallel to Florida's northeastern coast as it churns north-northwestward in the Atlantic. At least seven deaths have been reported in the Bahamas, where the storm’s destroyed or severely damaged thousands of homes and trapped people in attics. People are being rescued on jet skis and even a bulldozer. Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam says the government will formally withdraw an extradition bill that has sparked months of demonstrations, bowing to one of the protesters' demands. The bill would've allowed Hong Kong residents to be sent to mainland China for trials. But Lam says the government won't accept other demands.

On this episode of ChinaEconTalk, Jordan interviews Lauren Teixeira, a freelance reporter based in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. After what has been a jam-packed few months of China news, Lauren discusses a wide range of topics, from engaging with mainlanders about the anti-Extradition Bill protests in Hong Kong to the downsides of Chinese superblock urban planning. Lauren finishes the interview with a wide-ranging introduction to contemporary pop culture artists in China whose innovation and creativity are helping people to stay inspired at a challenging time.  What to listen for on this week's ChinaEconTalk: 6:59: Lauren recalls Ian Johnson's comments to her during their conversation on engaging in political discussions in China: “He said to me, ‘There's a ceiling for your rhetoric because at some point you can't tell someone to “look it up” because they can't look it up.' Epistemologically you're not on even ground. And so, if you want to really get into a real discussion with someone,  you basically have to redpill them.” 14:41: On K-pop and geopolitics, as China tries to develop its own pop music industry: “It's half import substitution and half, I think, just a concerted effort to build your own idol industry that you can better control. For example, there would be all these geopolitical conflicts. If something happened in the South China Sea, the Chinese idols would have to go on Korean television and be like, ‘F*** this, I'm a patriot.' There was once a Taiwanese idol who waved a Taiwanese flag on a Korean reality show and she had to absolutely bend the knee to get back into the good graces of China, which was putting pressure on her agency.”  Jordan will be in New York and Washington, D.C. this September and October so reach out if you want to meet up!
