LUNCHEON AND SPECIAL BRIEFING FEATURING
\nA DELEGATION OF HONG KONG BUSINESS LEADERS<\/p>\n

Hong Kong is now in the midst of a heated and spirited conversation about how its Chief Executive is to be selected in 2017. The election may be the first exercise in universal suffrage in the former British colony’s 175 years of existence. What will the outcome of the debate have on Hong Kong’s status as a Special Autonomous Region of China? Can Hong Kong preserve its rule of law? And does the United States have an interest in how Hong Kong voters will decide?
\nJoin us as we welcome this year’s delegation from the Better Hong Kong Foundation to a special luncheon to talk about the issues at stake. The delegation is headed by Asia Society Co-Chair Ronnie Chan, who will be joined by Johnny Mok, Senior Counsel and a member of the Basic Law Committee appointed by the National People’s Congress of China. Asia Society Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski will moderate.<\/p>\n
