Chen Guangcheng: Human rights in China 25 years after Tiananmen Square | LIVE STREAM

Twenty-five years after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, the democratic aspirations of student protesters in China are no closer to fruition, remaining firmly at odds with the new "China dream" espoused by President Xi Jinping. The recent arrest of prominent human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang, whose clients included artist Ai Weiwei, is only the latest indicator of the increasingly inhospitable environment in which China's dissidents find themselves. On the eve of the massacre's 25th anniversary, AEI will welcome prominent activist Chen Guangcheng, a self-taught lawyer and champion of victims of the one-child policy. In a conversation with AEI President Arthur Brooks, Chen will describe the human rights situation in China; speak to the evolution of free society, rule of law, and democracy; and discuss ways to enhance public understanding of the moral foundation of free societies.
