As always, Bring Your Own Chai(BYOC) and join us for an evening of word-guessing!

Hong Kong and the United States: Where do we go from here?

Hong Kong, long one of Asia’s most economically vibrant cities, has now become a flashpoint in the deteriorating U.S.-China relationship. After months of popular protests in the city, the PRC National People’s Congress passed the deeply controversial Hong Kong National Security Law. This led to President Trump’s July 14 Executive Order suspending or eliminating special and differential treatment Hong Kong received under U.S. law. In Washington, pro-democracy activists have aggressively courted lawmakers and advocated for U.S. legislation supporting Hong Kong self-determination.

Through coordinated protest, testimonial acts, and hunger strikes, incarcerated migrants have drawn attention to systemic abuses in prisons, while defending their rights to belonging, family unification, and transnational mobility.
