SPEAKER LUNCHEON “Hong Kong's democratization under Chinese sovereignty: Reflections on the eve of twentieth anniversary of the handover” Speaker: Dr. Brian Fong Chi-hang 1st March 2017, Wednesday, 12:30 – 14:00 Hong Kong Club, 1 Jackson Road HK$450 for HKDF Members and Sponsors HK$600 for Guests On the eve of the twentieth anniversary of the handover, Hong Kong’s transition towards a full democracy remains unsettled. Hong Kong’s elections, opposition activities, and media have come under increasing pressure. The city-state is now in a “political grey zone”. The transition into a full democracy remains out of sight. Mobilizing political support for further democratization is an imminent challenge for Hong Kong’s democrats.
