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. A provocative
contribution to the discussion on Hong Kong's position in today's
world, City on the Edge demonstrates that the resistance and
repression of 2019-2020 does not spell the end of Hong Kong but the
beginning of a long conflict with global repercussions.
