Protests in Hong Kong turned violent this week, with police officers firing tear gas and rubber bullets, and demonstrators vandalizing a Chinese government building. How long will Beijing tolerate democratic rumblings from Hong Kong without a major crackdown? Could this be the next Tiananmen? And will the United States react if Beijing responds with force?

Hong Kong expert Gordon Chang joined Dany and Marc to explain what’s going on in Hong Kong, and what it all might mean for the Chinese Communist Party. Chang also discusses the relationship between Hong Kong and mainland China, how protests could affect the US-China trade relationship, and whether the US should be doing more to support the people of Hong Kong.

Chang is the author of Losing South Korea, Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes On the World, and The Coming Collapse of China. He lived and worked in China and Hong Kong for almost two decades, and his writings have appeared, among other outlets, in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Weekly Standard.
