About this sermon

Officials in Hong Kong are still waiting to learn if China's president will be in the former British territory later this week. Security is tight as Hong Kong approaches the 25th anniversary of its return to China. Officials in Beijing are not saying if President Xi Jinping will be there in-person. He has not left mainland China since the start of the COVID pandemic, more than 2 years ago. Author of "The Coming Collapse of China" and "The Great US-China Tech War," Gordon Chang, joins to discuss why the commemorations in Hong Kong are so important to China and whether he believes the president will attend.
