CITY ON FIRE

Antony Dapiran with Rowan Callick

Hong Kong has long been a city of dissent. The violent democracy protests of 2019 were driven primarily by students and youth protesters with their ‘Be Water!’ philosophy, borrowed from hometown hero Bruce Lee. This leaderless, technology-driven protest movement defied a global superpower and changed Hong Kong, perhaps forever. But it also changed China, and challenged China’s global standing. Long-time resident Antony Dapiran talks to Rowan Callick about the protests, the people and future for this unique region.
