It's nearly one year since China imposed the Hong Kong National Security Law which has been the focus of intense protests. In this episode, Louisa Lim joins Jeremy and Emily to discuss Hong Kong's relationship with Beijing, and what impact the law has had on democracy in the region - including the recent closure of pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily.


Louisa Lim is the author of The People's Republic of Amnesia, a Senior Lecturer in Audio-Visual Journalism at the University of Melbourne, and co-host of the Little Red Podcast.
