A fascinating analysis of the features of the Hong Kong-style
democracy viewed as alien, hostile, potentially subversive, and
substantially dangerous by the mainland Chinese Communist Party.
Competing Chinese Political Visions: Hong Kong vs. Beijing on
Democracy examines the uniqueness of the Hong Kong model of
democracy—a model the Chinese Communist Party not surprisingly
views as too Westernized, excessively pluralistic, and too easily
shaped by foreign intervention and influence. Competing Chinese
Political Visions examines the features that define Hong Kong's
democracy, including competitive elections, a number of
mini-political parties, legitimate checks and balances, the right
to protest, and a vibrant social movement. Drawing on a wealth of
recent research, noted Hong Kong expert Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo examines
the role of Hong Kong in the June 1989 Tiananmen Square incident,
discusses the leadership and visions of democratic leaders such as
Martin Lee, and offer some bold predictions for the intertwined
futures of Hong Kong and China.
