"Dog" is a current Hong Kong resident and TCK. The acronym, TCK, stands for “third culture kid”, and aptly describes “Dog” as he was born in Panama and grew up in other parts of the world before residing in his current location. Due to the nature of the topics discussed in this episode regarding the relationship between Hong Kong and China, he has asked to speak under anonymity.

In part 1, we talk about Dog’s upbringing and many transitions from one place to the next, the peculiarities of linguistics, and he explains the story behind a chilling video he shared on social media.

In part 2, we discuss the on-going protests in opposition to China’s draconian measures and consider Hong Kong’s challenges and its future.
