Written by CFHK President, Ellen Bork:
The contest between free and repressive regimes is the struggle of our times, and there will be many more battles. On June 4, 2005, the 16th anniversary of the 1989 massacre of democracy protesters by China’s People’s Liberation Army troops, the filmmaker Liu Wei walked up to people in Beijing and asked what day it was.
