HFSC Director George Calhoun's Article "The Hong Kong Crackdown Is A Financial Disaster For China: Is It Time To Fire The CEO?" for Forbes

Speaking on China’s both international and domestic policies, Professor Calhoun describes how the country is learning to be both a geopolitical superpower while trying to build a modern economic and financial system. This double-stacked strategy, however, comes with issues of its own. Calhoun provides a history of China’s previous policies, with Beijing’s foreign policy being cautious, with tremendous economic growth, and America supporting China’s emergence as a new yet unthreatening major player. This outlook, however, started to change once Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, with China’s foreign policies, economic approach, and, eventually, Hong Kong’s security laws having drastically changed.
