China, Hongkong, Human Rights, and Freedom

In listening to All Things Considered this afternoon on my local NPR station, Wisconsin Public Radio, I heard the details on human rights in Hongkong. To take things back a bit to the 1990s, Great Britain opted to sign a treaty with China to give them the territory of Hongkong…
