This book explores the manifold ways that the current
confrontations between China and the US, and political tensions
within the Special Administrative Region (SAR) has brought Hong
Kong to the forefront of emerging political frictions between
Beijing and the territory and growing international rivalry between
the two powerful nations of the world. Unlike the situation in the
post-WWII decades, which witnessed the internationalisation of the
Hong Kong economy, this “New Cold War” poses challenges to the
SAR’s status as a global city and international financial and
business centre. The enactment of the National Security Law and the
growing presence of Beijing in regulating the SAR’s domestic
affairs triggered strong reactions from many countries. Hong Kong
has to bear some of the consequences of measures imposed onto China
as a result of current controversies. The shadow of China also
raises many eyebrows about the prospects of Hong Kong as a free and
liberal city. And the outbreak of COVID-19 and the concomitant
interruption to economic flows and the movement of people further
complicate the situation. This book will be of great value to
students and scholars in the fields such as Economics, Sociology
and Asia Pacific studies. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the Asia Pacific Business Review.
