In the 1980s, Britain actively engaged with China in order to
promote globalisation and manage Hong Kong’s decolonisation.
Influenced by neoliberalism, Margaret Thatcher saw Britain as a
global trading nation, which was well placed to serve China’s
reform. During the negotiations over Hong Kong’s future, British
diplomats aimed to educate the Chinese in free-market capitalism.
Nevertheless, Deng Xiaoping held an alternative vision of
globalisation, one that privileged sovereignty and socialism over
market liberalism and democracy. By drawing extensively upon the
declassified British archives along with Chinese sources, this book
explores how Britain and China negotiated for Hong Kong’s future,
and how Anglo-Chinese relations flourished after 1984 but suffered
a setback as a result of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. This
original study argues that Thatcher was a pragmatic neoliberal, and
the British diplomacy of ‘educating’ China yielded mixed
results. -- .
