The return of Hong Kong to China in July 1997 has the potential to benefit China's rapidly expanding economy. China's handling of the transition will have enormous implications for her international standing. This is the first study to analyse the serious problems and real opportunities that the return of the colony poses to China's international status. Examining the relationships between Greater China, Hong Kong and the West, Hong Kong: China's Challenge explores the challenges that Chinese policy makers face up to 1997 and beyond: the clash of political cultures; handling problematic negotiations; dealing with conflicting economic interests. The book concludes by suggesting that a laissez faire approach to the lucrative Hong Kong markets will ensure that China harnesses the full political and economic benefits of sovereignty over the colony.

The Sino-British agreement and the resumption of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997 have posed fundamental questions about the future of that state and the political and individual liberties which Hong Kong citizens will or will not enjoy under the new order. A fundamental question is whether a capitalist economy (guaranteed by the agreement) can exist in Hong Kong after 1997 without the supervisory role of the capitalist state and the implied relationship with the population. To explore this question it is necessary to know how the state in Hong Kong emerged, the measures it uses to attain its goals, and how autonomous it has been from Britain and China and from popular political demands.

On July 1, 1997, the United Kingdom handed over Hong Kong to China, marking the end of its 99-year lease on the colony. The transfer gave the Chinese government sovereignty over one of the most powerful international financial centers and one of the world's most famous ports. For Hong Kong's six million residents, many of whom fled Communist rule in China, the impending change has left them uncertain of their fate. The prospect of Hong Kong, China, is first examined here from a historical perspective, concentrating on its 100 years as a British Crown Colony, and then its recovery from Japanese occupation in World War ll and subsequent development into a financial powerhouse. The primary focus is then on the period since 1979, when discussions of Hong Kong's future began in earnest between the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom, and the preparations that the virtual city-state is undertaking for the changeover.

Hong Kong at the Handover explores the days of handover through the words of leading Hong Kong citizens. Bruce Herschensohn utilizes transcribed interviews to tell the story of one of the most important events of this generation: the taking over of a political entity through a 99-year-old treaty. Herschensohn emphasizes the irony of the Chinese government coming to Hong Kong, the majority of whose people had fled from that same government. Throughout the book, Herschensohn seeks to record for history the words of many leading and varied interests in Hong Kong at the time of handover. Hong Kong at the Handover will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian studies and foreign affairs.

'What is going to happen to Hong Kong after 1 July 1997?' The transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong is one of the late 20th century's most fascinating and significant historical events. An advanced economy and society accustomed to living under a relatively liberal British colonial administration is being handed back to a potentially unstable former communist state. In the most provocative book written about the 1997 issue, Jamie Allen provides answers by approaching the question from a different angle: 'What is happening to Hong Kong?' Seeing Red tracks the progress of China's hard-nosed takeover strategy since the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in December 1984. It examines the Basic Law from the perspective of China's political imperatives, and describes the steady advance of mainland Chinese business interests in the colony. He finds that Hong Kong's reunification with China has more to do with a process of recolonisation than decolonisation. Who will gain or lose from these changes? Liberalism and its proponents will be a casualty because, contrary to a generous reading of the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, China never intended to preserve Hong Kong's political system intact after reunification. The principle of 'one country, two systems', if read within the context of statements made by senior officials such as Deng Xiaoping, offers only economic and social freedoms to Hong Kong; it is not a guarantee that existing civil liberties can be maintained. Certain existing business interests, especially British ones, will lose out because of the proprietorial attitude being shown towards Hong Kong's strategic service sectors by mainland Chinese corporations. China's policies towards Hong Kong often seem confusing and inconsistent, a feature exacerbated by the natural tendency of the local press to look for signs of hope in every new utterance from Beijing. Seeing Red argues that China does have a coherent and well coordinated programme for the takeover of Hong Kong, one that is shaped by the mindset and imperatives of the Communist Party of China. Were the Party to fall tomorrow, the nature and method of reunification would be significantly different. SEEING RED demonstrates that Hong Kong does not exist in a competitive vacuum. The economic status quo must change as China changes and Asia becomes more complex. The author argues that it is by no means certain the Chinese government can maintain the unique combination of factors that has contributed to Hong Kong's successful economy, a predictable legal system and the skill and spirit of its people. Yet if this features are not preserved Hong Kong's relative attractiveness as a business centre will be further undermined. It is a book for businessmen and financiers who want an assessment of the threats facing Hong Kong in the first five to ten years after the handover. Jamie Allen was born in Singapore in 1962, and was educated in Australia. He studied Political Science and Mandarin at the Australian National University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in 1986. He also studied Mandarin in Taiwan for two years. He arrived in Hong Kong in 1987, and worked for the South China Morning Post as a reporter. In 1992, he joined The Economist Intelligence Unit as editor of Business Asia. In 1994, he was seconded to The Economist in London. In 1995, he left full-time employment to write freelance, and to work on 'Seeing Red'. He has written for a number of publications in the UK and Australia, including Business Review Weekly, The Financial Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph. In the course of his work as a journalist, he has traveled throughout Asia, and spent considerable time in China.

On July 1st 1997, China realized its long-standing ambition of resuming sovereignty over Hong Kong. Now the Communist Chinese leadership are dealing with their most public challenge: the enormous task of taking on a society which they both covet and fear, in the aftermath of the financial turmoil which overtook Asia in the fall of 1997. Hong Kong: China's New Colony tells the inside story of how the former British colony came under Chinese rule and how supposedly Communist China is coming to terms with presiding over what has been one of the world's most vibrant capitalist societies. It shows where real power lies in the new Hong Kong and describes in detail the wheeling and dealing which accompanied the establishment of the new order. Invaluable reading for anyone interested in the Far East, but especially for those who want to do business with the world's potentially biggest market, Hong Kong: China's New Colony answers all of these questions and more in a gripping and compulsively readable account of the future of this most unlikely of marriages. Stephen Vines is one of the best-known correspondents in Hong Kong, where he has lived for more than a decade. He is the Hong Kong correspondent for the Independent, founded a groundbreaking local paper, and broadcasts regularly for the BBC and other radio stations. He is the only Western journalist in Hong Kong to have successfully started a number of businesses with the Chinese, and certainly the only one to have had the Triads threaten him in his own shop.

Deng Xiaoping is widely acknowledged as the principal architect of China’s economic reforms, but how far was he also responsible for shaping China’s foreign policy which emphasized “peace and development”? This book explores Deng’s foreign policy and shows how he established basic principles for China to have a foreign policy which supported economic development, which stressed “harmony” in the world rather than “hegemony”, and which avoided conflict and nurtured a peaceful approach. The book outlines how Deng worked to normalize relations with both the United States and the Soviet Union, how he was disappointed by the lack of reciprocation by the United States, where relations are still portrayed in terms of “the China threat”, and how the principles established by Deng continue to be adhered to.

And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist. Once described by Mao Zedong as a “needle inside a ball of cotton,” Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China’s radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao’s cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China’s growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at Tiananmen Square. Deng’s youthful commitment to the Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early 1920s, among a group of Chinese student-workers that also included Zhou Enlai. Deng returned home in 1927 to join the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming China’s preeminent leader from 1978 to 1989 and again in 1992. When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to creatively destroy much of the economic system he had helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao—and he did not hesitate.
