Abstract

The article provides an overview of the transformation of China since the 1989 crackdown of protesters who demanded social, political and economic reforms in Tiananmen Square. It discusses the challenge of Yale University doctoral student Nick Frisch for Hong Kong along with foreign governments, multinational businesses and global media to consider whether the economic gains have been worth the burden of controls and silence.
