This book seeks to survey the role of tycoons in Hong Kong's
socio-political and socioeconomic developments. Summoned to Beijing
just before the onset of the territory's longest social movement,
it highlights the tycoons' symbolic intermediary role between
Beijing's elite and the people of Hong Kong. Also investigated is
the unwritten social contract between Beijing's elite and Hong Kong
society - that the tycoons will be rewarded economically or left
alone to conduct their business activities if they remain
compatible with Beijing's policy directions (or at least remain
neutral in contentious issues) and facilitate policy implementation
if necessary.Tycoons in Hong Kong has three research objectives:
first, in understanding the roles that tycoons play in Hong Kong,
it is necessary to understand Beijing's crafted political and
social spaces for Hong Kong's economic elites to exert their
influence. Second, it examines the integrated roles that the
tycoons play as consultative members of the Chinese one-party
socio-political structures. Third, it presents the humanized side
of the tycoons, highlights the positive contributions that tycoons
make to Hong Kong and mainland China and deconstructs the idea of a
hegemonic tycoon class by emphasizing their heterogeneity in the
biographical entries section of the publication.
