In the eyes of Hong Kong’s “Iron Lady” Emily Lau, how has Hong Kong become caught in the power plays of the Chinese Communist Party?

How has the Chinese communist regime infiltrated Hong Kong society in the past three decades?

How have Western democracies hurt their own self-interests by failing to stand up to communist China?

And given the escalating tensions and violence in Hong Kong, what does Emily Lau see as the path forward?

This is American Thought Leaders ??, and I’m Jan Jekielek.

In this episode, we’ll sit down with the Democratic Party’s former chairperson Emily Lau, who was the first woman directly elected to Hong Kong’s Legislative Council in 1991. She also sits on the board of directors of the China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group.
