Pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong haven’t given up yet, while more Chinese officials slated for anti-graft probes opt for suicide rather than the death penalty. Plus today’s last day for entry into the AIIB’s ground floor.
Hong Kongers continue to rally for freedom
For nearly two months, pro-democracy advocates took to the streets of Hong Kong, pursuing their dreams of universal suffrage. While that fight accomplished little in changing the course of the upcoming 2017 election, residents are now facing an assault on academic freedom.
Corrupt Chinese officials prefer suicide over death penalty
Chinese Present Xi Jinping has made it no secret he wanted to clean up the government and restore the people’s trust. A recent study showed that nearly a quarter of those placed under investigation kill themselves… and the public likes it.
Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank final sign-up day
Today’s the last day global leaders can sign their country up for the China's Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). So far over thirty nations have done so. Who will make it in under the wire to get that coveted Founding Member status? I share my pick to watch.
