Description:
To effect a successful transition when Hong Kong was reunited with China on July 1,1997, Britain and China negotiated for years, each claiming to pursue the best interests of Hong Kong but each in reality pursuing its own advantage. However, the passionate Hong Kong response to the Tiananmen Square incident forced the British and the Chinese to realize that the people of Hong Kong would no longer passively accept what another country determined was best for it. This book makes a significant contribution to understanding China's takeover of Hong Kong.
