Play • 33 min
The past year has been tumultuous for Hong Kong; with the regular breaking news on things that are happening there, it’s so easy to forget how it got into this situation.

In this episode, we revisit a podcast from eight months ago. In this, host Mark Austin travels back to 1997, when Britain handed over Hong Kong to China in a grand ceremony marking a peaceful transition of power.

He's joined by Hong Kong's first female politician, Emily Lau, and Rana Mitter, professor of the history and politics of modern China at Oxford University.
