One Country, Two Systems – A Discussion of Hong Kong’s Constitutional Framework
- This event has passed.
Join China Law and Policy Association in a lunch discussion with Professor Chee Kong (“CK”) LOW on Hong Kong’s current constitutional framework.
Description:
Significant interest was – and perhaps continues to be – drawn to Hong Kong over the summer of 2019 as protests were held on a weekly basis to seek, inter alia, the withdrawal of the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 and universal suffrage for both the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive.
With the Bill now withdrawn, this seminar addresses the issue of universal suffrage and explains why this demand will remain an unattainable aspiration under the present ‘One Country Two Systems’ constitutional framework in Hong Kong.
