In the second of Ken Roth’s Exit Interviews, we have a conversation on human rights in China and Hong Kong. Are the human rights abuses in China unique? What direction is the world —and China — going? With HRW senior China researcher Maya Wang and activist and lawmaker Nathan Law.

The slogan in Chinese on the flag, “Liberate Hong Kong, the Revolution of Our Times,” was a common chant during the 2019 protests. But since the imposition of the National Security Law, Hong Kong authorities have prohibited both the chant and pro-democracy protests have been prohibited in Hong Kong. The group that has long organized peaceful marches, Civil Human Rights Front, is also no longer functioning and its convenor has been in custody since.
