June 09, 2023 The Correspondent, April-June 2023: Aaron Busch and Nancy Lim
Teele Rebane speaks in-depth with one of the newest FCC members, Aaron Busch, about how his @tripperhead Twitter account became an invaluable source to Hong Kong journalists, his role as 'social media journalist' and relationship with traditional journalism as well as his forecast for Twitter and its rivals. Following on from the historic exhibition of Hong Kong pandemic memes on the hallowed walls of the FCC bar, author/owner of the @HKMehmeh Instagram account Nancy Lim talks about how she turned a bored distraction and her sense of humour into a professional business: memes for brands and corporations, how she taps into the HK zeitgeist and what subjects she just won't touch.

March 16, 2023 What Happened to Flight MH370? Florence de Changy on her book ‘The Disappearing Act’
It is now almost eight years since Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 vanished on its way to Beijing, on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board. “Good night, Malaysia 370” are the last words the world ever heard from the plane, about 40 minutes after its take-off from Kuala Lumpur. This is the starting point of what has since been called the greatest mystery in the history of civil aviation. French-Kiwi journalist Florence de Changy was dispatched to Kuala Lumpur to cover the story for Le Monde. Her first instinct was that a B-777, one of the safest planes ever built, let alone in a region that is monitored 24/7 by two global superpowers, the US and China, could not just vanish. She investigated the story for years; reviewed and dissected clues, data, official and confidential reports related to MH370; and met with sources and witnesses in more than 20 countries, until she reached the inconvenient conclusion that the official narrative was a fabrication.

March 16, 2023 Cherian George and Donald Low on Singapore’s Leadership and Prospects for Political Reform
Singapore’s ruling party has proven exceptionally adept at accommodating global shifts, economic pressures, and changing popular sentiments — without significant democratisation or political liberalisation. A new cycle of managed renewal is in the works again, with 49-year-old technocrat Lawrence Wong slated to take over from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. This panel will look at the resilience and contradictions of Singapore’s governance model in the light of Hong Kong’s own dramatic political transformation. It will also discuss the two cities’ shifting positions in the global economy. Cherian George and Donald Low are the co-authors of PAP v PAP: The Party’s Struggle to Adapt to a Changing Singapore, a national non-fiction bestseller when it was released in 2020. Moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg. Originally recorded 30 Jul 2022

March 16, 2023 ‘Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong’ with author Louisa Lim
FCC Correspondent Member Governor Austin Ramzy. moderate this conversation and discussion with author Luisa Lim. After protests erupted in 2019 and were met with escalating suppression from Beijing, long-time HongKonger and journalist Louisa Lim interviewed guerrilla calligraphers, amateur historians and archaeologists to put together a story of Hong Kong as told from the perspectives of its locals. Lim’s deeply researched and personal account in ‘Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong’, published in April by Penguin Random House imprint Riverhead books, casts startling new light on the city’s origins as a place of refuge and rebellion, and on its key moments: the British takeover in 1842, the negotiations over the 1997 return to China, and the future Beijing seeks to impose.
