past two decades from 1997 to 2017. It is broken into four parts -
economics, society, politics and culture.Hong Kong's role remains

China, other major powers and the world at large. It also covers
domestic developments, including legal developments. Other chapters

specific case studies of iconic animation character to
trans-boundary popularity of Hong Kong popular culture in
China.With contributions from Alvin CAMBA, Henry CHAN, Yoshihisa
