Democracy in Hong Kong: A Key Asia-Pacific Issue for 2014 SHARE
2014 began in Hong Kong with a New Year’s Day march for democracy that drew thousands into the streets in protest against Beijing’s efforts to limit democratic rights in the former British colony. Unless demands are met for universal suffrage and open nomination rights in Hong Kong elections, July 2014 is likely to see the city’s Central district occupied in a potentially massive act of public civil disobedience. While the future of Hong Kong democracy lies in the hands of Hong Kongers themselves, support and solidarity from the international community — including the United States — will also play a critical role.

China’s Crackdown on Western Journalists: How Should America Respond? SHARE
The Chinese government seeks to censor international news coverage of China through harassment and expulsion of U.S. and other Western journalists. Washington should send a clear message to Beijing that this is not acceptable.
