Liberal autocracy
For more than twenty years under Chinese rule, Hong Kong was a liberal autocracy: it had the rule of law and ample freedoms without full democracy.

It highlights two considerations that underlie an autocrat’s calculus for maintaining liberalism. T…

Recent events, including Beijing’s im…
