Contemporary Hong Kong-Taiwan Relations in China’s Shadow
Joseph Yu-shek Cheng, Markus Hietanen and Torbjörn Lodén
On November 25, 2022, the Institute for Security and Development Policy (ISDP) arranged a webinar titled “Contemporary Hong Kong-Taiwan Relations in the Shadow of the People’s Republic of China”. The basic idea behind this webinar was to explore in some depth the relations between the Hong Kong democracy movement and Taiwan. To this end, seven distinguished speakers—scholars, commentators, and activists—were invited from Hong Kong and Taiwan to discuss these relations against the background of Beijing’s tightening control over Hong Kong and its aspiration to bring Taiwan under its rule, by means of military force if necessary.
