Recommendation
When the United Kingdom returned Hong Kong to China’s control in 1997, residents feared the changes that Beijing might impose, but they also held out hope: Could Hong Kong’s example usher in an era of increased liberalism on the mainland? Journalist Howard W. French provides insightful snapshots of how politics, education and society have changed 20 years later – and how they haven’t. getAbstract recommends French’s analysis to businesspeople with interests in Asia, to students of history and to followers of democracy movements worldwide.
