A resident of Hong Kong for close to 30 years, Mark gives us a gripping history of China’s deteriorating relationship with Hong Kong and its implications for the rest of the world.ĬHARLES MIZRAHI: I recently sat down with Mark, and we talked about how a city once famed for protests so peaceful that toddlers joined grandparents at rallies became a place where police have fired tear gas, rubber bullets and even live ammunition at their neighbors.ĬHARLES MIZRAHI: Mark, thanks for coming on the show. His latest book, Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World: What China’s Crackdown Reveals About Its Plans to End Freedom Everywhere, is causing big waves around the world. Mark is president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong. And we have to try to starve the beast - as it were - of the money, ideas, technology and even the markets that it needs to keep growing.ĬHARLES MIZRAHI: My guest today is Mark Clifford.

MARK CLIFFORD: It wasn’t so long ago that Mao killed somewhere around 50 million people through starvation in political campaigns.
