2014.07.02 Anson Chan (Topic: The Winding Road to Universal Suffrage)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 41:24
Updated: 02 Jul 2014

2014.07.02 Speaker: Anson Chan Former Chief Secretary Topic: The Winding Road to Universal Suffrage The speaker will reflect on why she feels it is taking so long to achieve the full universal suffrage promised to the Hong Kong people in the Basic Law and why she feels the Hong Kong people must not settle for second best in 2017. Mrs. Chan retired as the Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government in 2001, after nearly forty years of service. As Chief Secretary, she headed the 190,000-strong civil service. She was the first woman and the first Chinese to hold the second-highest governmental position in Hong Kong. In recent years, Mrs. Chan has taken a prominent role in the campaign for full universal suffrage for election of Hong Kong's Chief Executive and all members of the Legislature. In December 2007 she stood as a candidate in a by-election for a seat in the Legislative Council and won by a convincing margin. Mrs. Chan is well known for her stand on transparent and accountable government, on democracy and on safeguarding the rights and freedoms enshrined in the "one country, two systems" concept that applies to Hong Kong. 2014.06.26 Speakers: Robert Amsterdam Senior Partner, Amsterdam & Partners, Adviser and counsel to the United. Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship and Thailand's 'Red Shirt' movement Jakrapob Penkair Founding, Organisation of Free Thai Network, former Thai Government Minister, Government Spokesman and journalist Topic: The Fight for Thailand's Democratic Future Thailand's military, seizing power in a May 22 coup following the judicial removal of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, says a return to civilian rule could take at least a year as it implements political reforms. While the U.S. has denounced the move and some analysts have warned of civil war, some investors, seeing how the economy continued to grow after the 2006 coup that ousted Yingluck's brother Thaksin from office, have been more sanguine. Mr. Amsterdam will explain the motivating factors behind the crisis and ideas to ensure democracy survives. Jakrapob Penkair will present another perspective on Thailand's situation. © 2014 The Foreign Correspondents' Club, Hong Kong.

Hong Kong protests continues for universal suffrage 홍콩 시위 확산...주요 기능 사실상 마비

Updated: 30 Sep 2014

Tens of thousands of demonstrators are continuing their protest on the streets of Hong Kong,... demanding China grant them... fully democratic elections. With more, we turn to Paul Yi at the News Center. Paul, reports are coming out... that much of the city was shut down today as well. And it now appears the local authorities have scaled back their heavy handed response. Well, the world is closely watching and the smoke from tear gas... was no where to be seen on this fifth day of demonstrations. Pro-democracy leaders have set Wednesday as the deadline for the Chinese government to meet their demands... or face... further civil unrest. But Hong Kong′s chief executive says Beijing will not back down. Our Connie Kim has the story. Speaking out for the first time since demonstrations flared up over the weekend,... Hong Kong′s leader called on protesters to immediately end their rallies. C.Y. Leung, the country′s chief executive said China will not be backing down from its position on Hong Kong, and that Beijing′s decision falls under the basic law of one person, one vote. But pro-democracy demonstrators appear to be standing firm, and have now demanded that Leung step down. Tuesday′s protests have been relatively calm following a police crackdown Sunday in which police used pepper spray and tear gas on the protesters. Schools and businesses around the government complex closed as thousands block the commercial district of Causeway Bay to Central′s east... and across the harbor to Kowloon′s Mong Kok. Over 50 people have been injured since the protests flared up on Saturday. Demonstrators are demanding universal suffrage in Hong Kong′s 2017 elections and that Beijing abandon its plan to vet candidates for the post of chief executive. "We have a simple message. It′s that we just want democracy and a fair voting of choosing our chief executive of Hong Kong." Up until now, Beijing had been nominating the chief executive. China was quick to warn other nations against supporting what it calls "illegal rallies". "We hope that related nations show a considerate stance regarding the protest in Hong Kong and do not send out a wrong message to the protesters. " However, the U.S. and Britain have both said the demonstrators′ rights should be protected and the people of Hong Kong should be granted universal suffrage. Connie Kim, Arirang News.
