What does China’s “One Country, Two Systems” policy mean? And how well did it work? If you’ve watched news coverage of public protests in Hong Kong, you’ll know “One Country, Two Systems” refers to how mainland China promised to govern Hong Kong after Great Britain gave up control there in 1997. It means communist oversight of a capitalist economy and culture. It also refers to China’s relationship with Taiwan.

In this lecture from 2010, “China’s Lost Territories: Taiwan, Hong Kong,” by Richard Baum for The Great Courses Plus, examine the reunification of Hong Kong with China in 1997 and the system that granted domestic autonomy to Hong Kong under Chinese sovereignty. Then track Taiwan's transition to democracy, the turbulent movements for and against independence from China, and Beijing's ongoing strategic efforts to reclaim the island.

I won't be surprised this Prof has been instrumental in influencing the political outcome of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For many students at young age of around 20yo, when you paint a stream and craftily say it's a river, many of them will start to believe it's a river each time they see a stream.
Education is generally good but it can also destroy lives if the intention of the educator is evil. This is what we have been witnessing in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Watching this in light of current events is chilling. We're going to need a followup course on modern China/international relations.

Dr. Baum...you are really amazing. I hated lectures in college and graduate school...because you were not my prof. You move things along at the right pace and provide lots of interesting ideas and facts. Thank you! I am now one of your groupies. :)

As an eyewitness to the 1997 Handover, I stood with a few million other HK people in the rain watching the fireworks and celebrating. At midnight, it was a huge street party.  Of course, things have changed.
