The arrest of Cardinal Zen

This week, Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Dan Hugger discuss the arrest of Cardinal Joseph Zen in Hong Kong on charges of violating the National Security Law and allegedly "colluding with foreign forces.” The arrest of Zen and three others comes in the wake of the arrest of other pro-democracy and human rights activists like Jimmy Lai, the subject of Acton’s most recent documentary feature film, THE HONG KONGER: JIMMY LAI’S EXTRAORDINARY STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM. What does this arrest tell us about the state of Hong Kong? And how has the Holy See responded to this incident? Then the guys break down the latest inflation numbers and the proposed “anti-price gouging” legislation and other supposed “solutions” to inflation that have nothing to do with inflation or that would simply make matters worse.   Subscribe to our podcasts   Apply now for Acton University 2022    Hong Kong cardinal Joseph Zen arrested under China's security law | BBC   The Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai’s Extraordinary Struggle for Freedom   The Hong Konger movie trailer   Inflation Is Tanking the Stock Market | The Dispatch   Will-to-Power Conservatism and the Great Liberalism Schism | Stephanie Slade, Reason Hosted on Acast.
