The Politics of Hong Kong's Reversion to China

by David W. Chang, Richard Y. Chuang

Introductory chapters precede a comparative study of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on Hong Kong and the Sino-Portugese Joint Declaration on Macao. The authors then discuss the questions of stationing Chinese forces in Hong Kong and whether Hong Kong people will need to secure a safe haven elsewhere; the Sino-British confrontations; Hong Kong's politicians and the development of political parties; the politics underlying the organization of the Court of Final Appeal in Hong Kong; human rights and the impact of the Hong Kong experiment on Taiwan.
