Substantial researches have accounted for how Hong Kong experienced
the 1997 handover from Britain to China and Hong Kong's complex
post-colonial development. Little has however been done to account
for how the British society experienced the historical event and
perceived the development of British-Hong Kong-Chinese relations.
This monograph attempts to fill this knowledge gap. Deploying the
content analysis methodology for systematically studying the
British press coverage of the 1997 sovereignty reversion, it
examines British-Hong Kong- Chinese cultural relations through the
theoretical lens of Edward Said's Orientalism. By treating news as
a form of cultural representation, it discusses how the British
press re-constructed the sovereignty reversion in Hong Kong into a
discourse of Orientalism. Moreover, through critically discussing
the limitations of the present study, it calls for the need to
carry out more comprehensive and comparative studies on the
British, Hong Kong and Chinese press coverage of the post-colonial
Hong Kong, which may further shed lights for understanding the
post-millennial British-Hong Kong- Chinese relations.
