Description

For the first time in Toronto, young social activists engaged in Hong Kong community movements and newly-elected Legislative Councillors will share via Skype their political vision for Hong Kong’s future and challenges confronting the City. They will also analyze the impact on “One Country Two Systems” and the independent judicial system by the recent interpretation of Hong Kong Basic Law by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.
