Occupy Central - the largest ever political protest in the history of Hong Kong, and the most nerving the Central Chinese government has seen in 25 years.
What were the causes of the Occupy Central movement in Hong Kong? What effects did they have and what do they mean for the future of Hong Kong? What are the implications for Hong Kong’s future governance and its relation with the Central Government in Beijing?
Roderic Wye (Chatham House) will be coming to Birmingham to answer these questions and many more!
