The Hong Kong government and pro-democracy protestors have agreed to several rounds of
talks to find a way out of the standoff that′s gripped the city.
John CAROLL, Associate Dean of Arts Faculty at University of Hong Kong, joins us for this
conversation.
First of all, how do you forecast the talks between the Hong Kong government and protestors
will play out?
It′s clear that the protesters don′t want to compromise on universal suffrage and ridding
Beijing′s heavy hand.
What does the communist party ultimately want?
What happened
to
the two systems, one country agreement?
Was it working fine since 1997, until now?
Or was this eruption in the making, for a while?
There′s no
clear leader on the part of these protesters.
Does that make things complicated for the government?
Thank you.

Hong Kong, joining us
