In recent years, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been rocked by large youth protests, the Umbrella Revolution and the Sunflower Student Movement, concerned about how Beijing’s growing power encroaches on their lives.

Your pre-Goldthread work and that of your colleagues have not shied away from such political concerns. Does diminishing press freedom in Hong Kong or ownership by the Chinese conglomerate Alibaba make that difficult?
