City on the edge : Hong Kong under Chinese rule
Hung, Ho-fung2022
Books
For decades, Hong Kong has maintained precarious freedom at the edge of competing world powers. In 'City on the Edge', Ho-fung Hung offers a timely and engaging account of Hong Kong's development from precolonial times to the present, with particular focus on the post 1997 handover period. Through careful analysis of vast economic data, a myriad of political events, and intricate networks of actors and ideas, Hung offers readers insight into the fraught economic, political, and social forces that led to the 2019 uprising, while situating the protests in the context of global finance and the geopolitics of the US-China rivalry.
