US Election Special III: Election results update, Chinese & HK voters in NYC & discussion with: Davi
2020-11-06
Hello, and welcome to The Pulse. Unprecedented, extraordinary, mind-boggling - choose your own adjective for describing the American elections. From the distance of Hong Kong, another adjective might be confusing. Coming to think of it, it’s pretty confusing stateside as well. So, we are going to do our best to shed some light on all of this. We’ll also take a closer look at New York, to find out how Asian-Americans evaluate the past four years of Trump’s presidency, and who they’ve picked to lead the country next.
But one thing and probably one thing only is clear about this election: it marks the largest turnout in US elections since 1900. Aside from that, more or less everything is in dispute as legal action is threatened, allegations of fraud impressively flow out of the White House, and a profound air of uncertainty hovers. To help us make sense of all of this, we have in the studio David Law, Chair in Public Law at the Hong Kong University, and we’re pleased to welcome back Sean Kenji Starrs, Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian and International Studies at Hong Kong’s City University.
