This talk will examine the political developments in Hong Kong during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic against the backdrop dramatically changing relations with mainland Chinese authorities. The transformation of the resistance movement and initial findings from research into the yellow economic circle are analysed through the conceptual lens of affective communities. 

Dr Malte Philipp Kaeding is a Lecturer in International Politics at the University of Surrey. He is the co-founder of the Hong Kong Studies Association (HKSA). Malte researches emotions and international relations and is the director/writer/producer of a feature-length documentary (Black Bauhinia) on the Hong Kong localist movement.
