Competing Chinese Political Visions Summary

Competing Chinese Political Visions: Hong Kong vs. Beijing on Democracy by Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo

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 democracya 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.

Competing Chinese Political Visions Reviews

There are excellent and thorough chapters on the various political parties and a rare account of the district councilsa balanced and thoughtful account that probably will long stand as the definitive work on Hong Kong's indeed tragic quest for self-governance durng the past two decades. * The Journal of Asian Studies *
