This week the People’s Republic of China celebrates its 70th anniversary as months of pro-democracy demonstrations continue in Hong Kong. Demonstrations began as a response to the proposal of an extradition agreement with Mainland China with concerns that the bill would further erode the civil liberties they enjoy under the one country two systems principle. The issues have become a lot bigger getting to the heart of the meaning of democracy and Chinese Imperialism.  Music in the Middle:  “Chaos” by DJ Sun from his album Qingxi courtesy of Soular Productions.
