This document appears to be a series of slides from a presentation given by Dr. Wai-Kwok Benson Wong of the Department of Government & International Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University on March 30, 2011. The presentation discusses current affairs in Hong Kong, noting that understanding current events requires examining them in their proper context and from multiple perspectives rather than relying on common sense or personal views. One reference from a 2011 report on the state of Hong Kong's political system after the first decade of the 21st century is included.
