Since March of this year, Hong Kong has experienced massive and widespread protests – at one point, an estimated two million citizens marched in the streets (which is over a quarter of the population). Largely due to its continuing nature, the protests have been underreported by mainstream media despite their potentially dramatic worldwide impact.
WindRock interviews Eric Margolis, award-winning syndicated columnist and war correspondent. Mr. Margolis discusses:
- Why the protests are likely to continue;
- How Chinese leadership will likely react;
- What the repercussions will be for Sino-American relations, specifically:
- Trade negotiations
- North Korean containment
- Territorial disputes
- Overall general security; and
- Why the protests are a real threat to China’s economy and the worldwide banking system.
