Episode Details

Daniel asked for the real mechanics of the Hong Kong–mainland China relationship — not headlines, but the named laws, dates, documents, and daily texture of crossing the border. We break down what's still genuinely separate (currency, courts, immigration, internet) and what's converged through specific legal instruments like the 2020 National Security Law and the Greater Bay Area integration project. Plus: what 2047 really means, and how Hong Kong's trajectory changed Taiwan's reading of its own options.
