The Erosion of Hong Kong’s Autonomy Since 2020: Implications for the United States

This online event, set for Thursday, May 9, 8:00-9:00 am US ET, centers around the release of a new report by Trustee Chair Scott Kennedy, Freeman Chair Deputy Director Lily McElwee, and Freeman Chair Jude Blanchette. Based largely on an intensive research trip to Hong Kong, the report assesses the extent of resilience and erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy across a range of spheres, including governance, the economy, and civil society. On this basis, the authors evaluate the pros and cons of alternative policy options for the United States.

U.S. Consul General Gregory May will first provide brief remarks about these issues. The co-authors will then briefly present the key takeaways of the report’s analysis of Hong Kong and U.S. policy options. The rest of the event will feature a panel discussion with four experts with extensive experience living and working in Hong Kong: Hanscom Smith (former U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong, now Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs), Kelley Loper (University of Denver Strum College of Law), Annie Zhang (Harvard Berkman Klein Center), and Andrew Dowell (Wall Street Journal).

This event is made possible by generous funding from the U.S. Department of State.
