Invitation: The Future of Hong Kong

The protests in Hong Kong continue but what do they mean for the future of Asia’ leading city state? Are the demands of the protestors realistic or utopia? How has the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, coped and what are her priorities? Is Hong Kong still a safe place for business? How has Beijing – and other actors including the UK and EU – viewed these developments? What are the implications for Taiwan? To discuss these and other issues you are invited to a panel discussion on 10 December from 1700-1800 at the Press Club, Rue Froissart 95, 1040 Brussels.
