Almost 40 years after my first trip to Hong Kong, I returned in November with my teenager son. Back as a nine-year-old, Hong Kong was the very first place I'd been to outside of Western Australia, so it made quite the impression.  This time, I was there to visit friends who've recently moved there, and to do some extra sightseeing while they were at work. In this trip report episode, I'm going to let you know what my highlight was (hint: it could happen anywhere in the world!), explain the sightseeing we did and something intriguing I learnt about, and also tell you all about my brief foray into China, a country I've long wanted to visit, and now want to see even more of, please! I then have a Disney-related confession to make, and some ethical pondering about visiting Hong Kong.  I'd love to hear about your own Hong Kong experiences as I'm keen to return and deepen my knowledge of this fascinating place, so let me know your thoughts!

This week on Sinica, I chat with University of Melbourne transnational historian Pete Millwood about his outstanding book Improbable Diplomats: How Ping-Pong Players, Musicians, and Scientists Remade U.S.-China Relations. The road to normalization is told too often with a focus only on the Nixon-Kissinger opening and official diplomatic efforts culminating in the final recognition of the PRC in January 1979, but there's much more to the story than that, and Millwood tells it deftly, drawing on extensive archival research as well as interviews with many of those directly involved.3:33 — Transnational history 4:44 — The early, “pioneering” trips to China in the 1950s and ‘60s and China's shift in invitations 11:14 — The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR) in the 1960s 16:27 — The role of the Committee of Concerned Asia Scholars (CCAS)20:43 — Why Nixon's opening to China was seen as so surprising, and the impact of the UN's shift in recognition from the ROC to the PRC on American thinking 24:57 — The Glenn Cowan and Zhuang Zedong ping-pong diplomacy story 31:21 — Edgar Snow's meeting with Mao33:43 — The return leg of ping-pong diplomacy and the National Committee's “baptism by fire”36:33 — The significance of the Philadelphia Orchestra's tour of China with Eugene Ormandy 42:23 — Jiang Qing and the controversy around the cancelled performing arts tour in the U.S. in 1975 46:03 — Kissinger's thinking in the early 1970s after the first communiqué 48:48 — The U.S.-China People's Friendship Association 50:42 — How scientific cooperation smoothed the process toward normalization under the Carter administration, the state of play in '77, and how Frank Press CSCPRC argued for greater reciprocity 1:02:25 — The politics in China in regards to the grander bargain and the decentralization of exchanges 1:05:43 — The disbandment of the CSCPRC and the reinvention of the NCUSCR 1:08:58 — Pete's suggestion for continuing academic and cultural exchange 1:12:51 — How Pete got interested in such an American and China-centric topic 1:18:02 — Pete's current projects Recommendations:Pete: Island X: Taiwanese Student Migrants, Campus Spies, and Cold War Activism by Wendy Cheng; Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong by Louisa Lim (also available as an audiobook read by the author) Kaiser: We Met in Beijing, a book of poems by Anthony Tao See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For our hundredth episode, there was only one choice in the Year of the Dragon. We tackle the scaly mythical beast, which now finds itself central to the Party's image.   We look at the political efficacy of the dragon for the CCP, which has recently launched a nationalistic rebranding campaign for the ‘loong' to distinguish it from evil Western dragons.  We explore the history of the dragon, its often-fraught relationship to power, and (once common) “official sightings” of dragons in government gazetteers. To get to grips with the most auspicious creature in China's pantheon, Louisa and Graeme are joined by Australian sinologist Linda Jaivin, author of The Monkey and the Dragon, historian James Carter from St. Joseph's University, and Annie Ren, a postdoctoral fellow of Chinese literature at the Australian National University.  Transcripts are available at: https://www.thechinastory.org/lrp/ Image: c/- Louisa Lim, Bendigo, 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is Hong Kong? According to the British, a “barren rock” without meaningful history; to China, a part of Chinese soil from the beginning of time, finally returned to its rightful place in 1997. When protests erupted in 2019 and were met with escalating suppression, Louisa Lim, a journalist raised in Hong Kong who as an adult has covered the region for more than a decade, felt compelled to tell Hong Kong's untold stories. In Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong, Dr. Lim combines history and memoir to explicate Hong Kong's history, the present reality that Hong Kong is not “just another Chinese city,” and the future that may be unfolding. In an interview conducted on June 27, 2022, Louisa Lim centers Hong Kongers as she discusses a diverse cast of characters including the memorable and mysterious King of Kowloon.

This fall, students in Hong Kong will learn a new version of history — one that erases the fact the region was ever a British colony. According to four history textbooks currently under development in China, Hong Kong has always been a part of China, despite over a century of British dominion. And so continues a pattern of effacing and repainting histories.   During her years as a reporter in Hong Kong, Louisa Lim, author of the new book Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong, stumbled across shards of her city's various, conflicting histories — some imposed by colonial forces, others originating from Hong Kongers themselves. This week, Annalee Newitz talks to Lim about the myths that obscure the region's past, and the impact this myriad of histories has had on Hong Kongers' sense of political and cultural identity.

The Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps hosted dignitaries as they tried to present a united front against Russian aggression and tackle the global food crisis. James Landale also found the castle had an interesting story of its own when he was reporting from the summit. Russian soldiers have employed brutal tactics throughout the Ukrainian invasion. Attempts to escape cities like Severodonetsk and Mariupol often proved perilous for Ukrainians, fleeing in bullet ridden cars, under constant threat of attack. Hugo Bachega, met with some of the people who managed to get away. The ripple effect of the war in Ukraine is far-reaching – from grain shortages to a surge in electricity prices globally. Even energy rich Australia has found itself asking citizens to ration their use of electricity. Its new Prime Minister has pledged a greener future for the country, with less reliance on coal. But this transition may be harder than it might seem, says Shaimaa Khalil. Panama may be known for its banking secrecy and the canal, but more than half the country is covered in tropical forests and mangroves. Grace Livingstone recently visited the indigenous community of Arimae, in the east of the country, which is finding innovative ways to defend and protect their land. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover and Beijing has in the last few years been tightening its grip. In recent weeks, one of the city's most famous institutions, the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, closed its doors and subsequently sank. The restaurant failed to survive the impact of the pandemic. But it remains a symbol of a bygone era, says Louisa Lim. Presenter: Kate Adie Producer: Serena Tarling Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Production Coordinators: Gemma Ashman and Iona Hammond

It's now been twenty-five years since Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty with a pledge not to change Hong Kong's way of life for fifty years. In actual fact, Beijing's stealth infiltration of Hong Kong began long before the territory's return, with United Front work targeting certain sectors of the population. In this episode, we delve deep into Hong Kong's history to pinpoint how Beijing used the cheongsam makers and policemen - among others - to infiltrate society.  Graeme is joined by Ho-fung Hung of Johns Hopkins University, author of City on the Edge: Hong Kong Under Chinese Rule, Newsweek journalist Didi Kirsten Tatlow, and for the first time as a guest, Louisa Lim, whose book Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong is now out.  Image: Black Bauhinia with wilted petals, c/- Jacky CTensd, Wikimedia Commons, 2019  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1997, sovereignty over Hong Kong was passed from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China. Large demonstrations opposing China's authority began in the early 2000s in the port city, culminating with the 2019 protests and subsequent crackdowns by the Chinese government that made headlines around the world. Louisa Lim, author of "Indelible City," who grew up in Hong Kong and covered Hong Kong and China as a reporter for the BBC and NPR, talks about the history of British rule in Hong Kong and the relationship between Hong Kong and China since the 1997 handover.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As Australia’s Defence Minister warns his nation to ‘prepare for war’ with China, there’s a growing feeling of inevitability about a future conflict between China and the United States. Against this rather bleak backdrop, we hear from one global figure who has had unusual access to China's leaders: Australia's former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The President and CEO of the Asia Society, he describes himself as a Sinologist at the tables of power. He's probably the only Mandarin-speaking world leader to have one-on-ones with Xi Jinping and hear Jiang Zemin's rendition of O Sole Mio at Sydney Opera House. Rudd is publishing a book called The Avoidable War: The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict Between the United States and Xi Jinping’s China. This episode is a live recording of his Melbourne book launch, hosted by Louisa. In it, Rudd unpacks the logic of a future war, warns of Xi's biggest vulnerability and predicts a rocky few months ahead. This event was co-hosted by the Asia Society, the Wheeler Centre and RMIT Live.

Danish sculptor Jens Galschiøt's “Pillar of Shame,” a 26-foot copper-cased monument to the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, stood for nearly a quarter century outside the student union at Hong Kong University. The tower-like statue of human faces contorted by suffering was installed in 1997, just before the handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China. In December 2021, under cover of darkness, the university removed the statue. It's a move that many say is an  overt attempt to suppress the memory of the brutal crackdown—and part of a broader effort by China to erase Hong Kong's history of independence.  Ray Suarez talks to Galschiøt about his dramatic journey to bring “Pillar of Shame” to Hong Kong in 1997, just before the handover of the city to the People's Republic of China, and the shock—and meaning—of its removal.  Then, he talks with former NPR Beijing correspondent Louisa Lim about China's brazen efforts to stamp out free speech in Hong Kong, the city she grew up in. Lim shares the experiences she chronicled in her new book Indelible City, an emotional eyewitness account of the pro-democracy protests and a reflection on Hong Kong's identity. Speaking of the Pillar of Shame's removal, she said, “For so many years, Hong Kongers have been carrying the burden of memory because they know that mainlanders have not been able to. And they will continue to remember, but I think some of that burden is now being passed beyond Hong Kong. Now it's becoming harder to remember in Hong Kong as well.” Guests:   Jens Galschiøt, Danish sculptor Louisa Lim, journalist and author of  “Indelible City:Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong”  Host:  Ray Suarez, co-host WorldAffairs

Dictatorships frequently use art and culture as propaganda to create cults of personality and maintain legitimacy. The totalitarian aesthetic is familiar to many of us from films and documentaries of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany: tanks driving down wide boulevards; paintings of toiling workers; military uniforms laden with medals; and films depicting past glories. But for billions of people who continue to live under authoritarian regimes, these images and experiences continue to be a part of everyday life. This panel discussion explores how dictators co-opt cultural institutions, and use dress, art, film, architecture, and other kinds of visual propaganda to impose their vision of society, instill fear, and reinforce their regimes.

A veteran of gun violence prevention work, Ms. Brown started her career on Capitol Hill working for Rep. Jim Moran, advocating for the bill that would eventually become the groundbreaking Brady Bill requiring background checks on federally licensed gun sales. Ms. Brown has also served as the Chief Legal Officer to a publicly traded company based in Switzerland and as a lawyer practicing at the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges. She lives in Arlington, VA, with her two teenage daughters.  At Brady, she has helped shape the conversation on gun violence as a national health care crisis, launched the organization's groundbreaking safe storage campaign to End Family Fire, and formed Brady's Team Enough youth initiative after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Parkland, FL.   A noted speaker and media commentator, Ms. Brown was featured in the November 2018 TIME magazine cover article, “Guns in America,” in which she noted that Brady is working to move the discussion of gun violence beyond the polarizing politics in American life. “There's a huge amount of common ground on this issue in this country and I hope we're finally at a tipping point where we can move forward with legislation and [programs] that actually protect people, and are entirely consistent with the Second Amendment.” Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong Journalist Louisa Lim (The People's Republic of Amnesia) mixes memoir and reportage in this riveting portrait of Hong Kong. Interweaving an up-close view of recent protests against Chinese rule with evocative details about Hong Kong's colonial past, Lim contends that the 50-year term for “One Country, Two Systems”—the policy that was supposed to govern its 1997 transition from a British possession to a sovereign territory of China—has ended well ahead of schedule. She explains that Hong Kong officials were excluded in all but “an advisory capacity” from negotiations between Britain and China setting the rules for the handover, and documents how the steady erosion of freedoms led to the “Umbrella Movement” of 2014 (“an explosion of discontent, desire, and, above all, hope”) and widespread anti-government protests in 2019. Lim also explores Hong Kong's multifaceted identity through profiles of residents including Tsang Tsou-choi, the “King of Kowloon,” a “toothless, often shirtless, disabled trash collector” who in the 1950s began covering government property with “misshapen, childlike calligraphy” claiming the British stole his family's land: the entire Kowloon Peninsula. Conversations with protestors, many of whom were not yet born in 1997, convey their burning idealism as well as their growing sense of futility. The result is a vivid and vital contribution to postcolonial history.    Check out all things Jon Carroll Follow and Support Pete Coe Follow and Support Gareth Sever  Pete on YouTube Pete on Twitter Pete On Instagram Pete Personal FB page

In Hong Kong, lighting a candle for Tiananmen victims is now a crime

It's much more than a candlelight vigil. In Hong Kong, commemorating victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre is a treasured act of resistance. There is no other place on Chinese soil where a mass remembrance of the tragedy is remotely possible.Related: Hong Kong's Tiananmen museum shuts down amid investigationBut now, that right is being stripped away.As of this year, anyone publicly lighting a candle in public in Hong Kong to recall the massacare on June 4, 1989, in Beijing — a turning point in China's history in which a movement for greater freedoms was crushed — faces up to five years in prison.This is just the latest endeavor by China's Communist Party (and the Hong Kong government, obsequious to Beijing) to pick apart the coastal territory's autonomy, a concept called “One Country, Two Systems," that is rapidly eroding.Related: Pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai sentenced in Hong KongLouisa Lim is a Hong Kong native and author of “The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited.” She spoke to The World's Patrick Winn about Beijing's latest clampdown against Hong Kong.Patrick Winn: Louisa, you've written a lot about Beijing's efforts to erase history. Why do they do this? How does it create a future they want to see?Louisa Lim: The Communist Party wants everyone to share an approved version of its history. It wants only one monolithic story of China to exist. What we're seeing now is attempts to extend that singular narrative into Hong Kong — a place where there's always been academic freedom, where people have been allowed to question historical narratives. Beijing is succeeding in rewriting history textbooks. It's succeeding in imposing its narrative — sort of officially — on Hong Kong. But Hong Kongers have shown they're not just rolling over and swallowing.What has been the significance of people in Hong Kong holding vigils to remember Tiananmen Square? What does it mean to do that on Chinese soil?It's an example of the power of public memory writ large. People gather on these football fields and hold candles. It's a sea of light as far as you can see. It stands as a rebuke against the Chinese government's rewriting of history. And it's a reminder that Hong Kong people continue to publicly remember what happened. On a local level, it's also important because, for many Hong Kongers, this is their introduction to political activism. Many young Hong Kongers have grown up attending the vigil as children. It's really inculcated a powerful sense of collective identity among them.Well, how seriously do you take the Hong Kong government's threats against anyone holding a vigil on June 4?This time we're seeing really specific warnings. That if you're wearing black clothing, if you're holding a candle, if you're in or around Victoria Park on June 4, you could be found guilty of illegal assembly. Even publicizing the vigil could get you a sentence of one year. And I think these are threats that the government is intending to carry out.Louisa, how fast has Beijing moved to clamp down on Hong Kong's autonomy?The speed of Beijing's clampdown in Hong Kong has been astonishing. To go from 180,000 people at that vigil two years ago — then to the fact that even holding a candle and wearing black clothes in the street by the park could earn you five years in prison? I mean, that's just an astonishing clampdown on rights. And one that is almost incomprehensible for Hong Kongers to come to grips with.Is it too dramatic to say that this clampdown signals Hong Kong's autonomy is in its last days?I think Hong Kong's autonomy has been in its last days for a long time. The situation in Hong Kong is really very parlous at the moment. In fact, it's possibly even more difficult than the situation in China, because dissidents in China have long been able to navigate those boundaries. The red lines are really quite clear. In Hong Kong, the red lines are moving all the time. It's incredibly hard to know where those red lines are. So, I think the unpredictability of the environment makes it very difficult to operate. And if you're looking at autonomy, the way the legal system has been used to suppress freedoms shows it is not behaving in an autonomous fashion at all.This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.

Last year saw a surge of civil unrest across the globe so widespread that 2019 has been dubbed “the year of the street protestor”. In places as diverse as Hong Kong, Chile, the United States, the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, people came together for a variety of causes and grievances. These included demands for economic, racial, and gender equality; the preservation of democracy against a growing authoritarian tide; confronting climate change; opposing corruption; and addressing migration and refugee issues. Increasingly, it is women-led movements that play an important role in advocacy, activism, and protest around the world, especially in places where authoritarian leaders have come to power. One hallmark of these protests is their breadth: as well as women, they include others marginalised by such regimes. Another is their tendency to be non-violent, which evidence suggests can be as effective at achieving change as violent uprisings. Accompanying the increased participation of women in activism and protest is their increased representation in politics and media. Women such as Greta Thunberg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maria Ressa, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have arisen in popular consciousness as symbols of moral courage in an era of turbulence. In celebration of International Women's Day we were joined at the National Gallery of Victoria by: Lydia Khalil, Lowy Institute Research Fellow and Middle East expert (moderator) Louisa Lim, Senior Lecturer in journalism at the University of Melbourne and co-host of The Little Red Podcast Amanda McKenzie, CEO of The Climate Council Nyadol Nyuon, commercial lawyer and community advocate for African Australians for a discussion of this turbulent time.

When the Hong Kong film Ten Years (Sap nin) came out in 2015, it was pulled from cinemas after Chinese state-run media described it as a 'virus of the mind'. Once seen as dystopian with its scenes of mass protest and police brutality, it now looks prophetic in a world where 88% of the Hong Kong population has been exposed to teargas. In this episode, we explore post-election, post-dystopian Hong Kong, and whether it's already too late for Beijing to reassert its control over an 'independence movement that cannot say its name'. This month Louisa Lim hosted a live recording after a screening of Ten Years with a panel consisting of Monash University anthropologist Kevin Carrico, Melbourne University's Victor Yim who studies Hong Kong's pan-democratic movement and Eric Lai, Vice Convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Protesters holding umbrellas amid heavy rain march in an anti-government rally in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. AAP/EPA/VIVEK PRAKASHLast weekend, hundreds of thousands of people again took to the streets in Hong Kong to protest against the government – the 11th straight weekend of demonstrations that began in June over a proposed extradition bill. But after more than two months of increasingly violent clashes between demonstrators and the police, this protest was peaceful. No tear gas was fired. China expert Graeme Smith, one of the hosts of The Little Red Podcast, devoted this week’s episode to the Hong Kong protest movement, with his co-host, Louisa Lim, on the ground in Hong Kong talking to people about their perseverance in the face of a potentially severe military crackdown from Beijing. In this episode of Trust Me, Smith discusses where the protests go from here, whether there’s any chance for dialogue between the two sides, and the impact of the increasingly nationalist vitriol aimed at protesters on social media – and on the streets of Hong Kong. Read more: Beijing is moving to stamp out the Hong Kong protests – but it may have already lost the city for good Smith believes the protests aren’t going to stop until Chief Executive Carrie Lam definitively withdraws the contentious extradition bill and launches an inquiry into police violence against the protesters. And this is unlikely so long as Lam – and her backers in Beijing – continue to stand firm in their positions and refuse to negotiate. So, no one knows how this might end, Smith says. A lot of the protesters, especially those in their 20s, feel they basically have nothing to lose and they’re going to dig in for the long haul. New to podcasts?

As the twentieth century drew to a close, Hong Kong, recently transformed into a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, seemed a city totally unlike any of its neighbors. Many observers were surprised by how light a touch Beijing seemed to be exerting in the wake of the 1997 handover, and the striking contrast between what could be said, done, and published in Hong Kong, compared to mainland metropolitan cities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen. Since the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule in 2017, controls have tightened dramatically amid fears of tighter political censorship and enhanced self-censorship. However, with the anniversary of the June 4th Massacre approaching, Hong Kong is still the only place on PRC soil where it can be discussed and marked in public. In 2019, what was once a chasm between civic life in Hong Kong and cities such as Guangzhou and Beijing is rapidly closing. What does the future hold for Hong Kong? Will it become just another Chinese city that makes up the Greater Bay Area? The speakers, who have been tracking issues relating to higher education, journalism, protest, and the arts, address Hong Kong's future under Chinese rule. Denise Y. Ho is assistant professor of twentieth-century Chinese history at Yale University. She is an historian of modern China, with a particular focus on the social and cultural history of the Mao period (1949-1976). Her first book, Curating Revolution: Politics on Display in Mao’s China, appeared with Cambridge University Press in 2018. She is also co-editing a volume with Jennifer Altehenger of King’s College London on the material culture of the Mao period. Dr. Ho is currently at work on a new research project on Hong Kong and China, entitled Cross-Border Relations. Louisa Lim is an award-winning journalist who grew up in Hong Kong and reported from China for a decade for NPR and the BBC. She is a senior lecturer in audiovisual journalism at the University of Melbourne, and is currently a visiting fellow at the University of Hong Kong.

History is the best textbook’ is one of the favourite phrases of China’s President Xi Jinping, yet only one version of history is acceptable in today's China. Since 2012, the ruling Communist party has made radical efforts to tighten its control over history, even bringing lawsuits against those seen guilty of ‘historical nihilism’. The streets around Tiananmen Square were not the only place that experienced a bloody suppression in 1989, and since that time efforts to control historical memory have become more apparent. The state has made clear their desire to rewrite history, and within China they've been successful. Louisa Lim is a Senior Lecturer of Audio-Visual Journalism at the University of Melbourne, and an award-winning journalist who reported from China for a decade for the NPR and BBC. She is the author of The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited (Oxford University Press) and co-host of the Little Red Podcast.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the UK for a four-day state visit and David Cameron hails a "golden era" in the relationship between the two countries, we revisit the Intelligence Squared Asia debate "China picks better leaders than the West", which urgently explored the issues around global leadership today. The debate took place in Hong Kong in October 2012. Arguing in favour of the motion were Tsinghua University Confucian philosopher and scholar Daniel A Bell and China-US relations specialist, senior counsel and former Hong Kong Solicitor General Daniel Fung. Arguing against the motion were Brookings Institution fellow and former Asia adviser at the US National Security Council Kenneth Lieberthal and Hong Kong Senior Counsel, legislator and Civic Party Executive Committee member Ronny Tong Ka-wah. The debate was chaired by NPR's Beijing correspondent Louisa Lim. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
