Free Webinar: From the Tiananmen Protests of 1989 to the Hong Kong Crisis of 2019–And Beyond

A Free Webinar with Professor Jeffrey Wasserstrom and Dr. Yangyang Cheng Moderated by William Edwards June 4 marks the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre in Beijing and elsewhere in China. The anniversary is marked by large gatherings each year is Hong Kong, where a June 4th vigil attended by well over 100,000 people in 2019 launched a series of protests that captured the attention of the world. Both our panelists have written extensively on this subject, which is the focus of a new book by one of them. This webinar will reflect on the meaning of the current state of political life in different parts of the PRC. It will begin with a dialog moderated by William Edwards, who have 38 years of living and working experience with China. Then we will segue into a broader conversation involving the audience.
