The Gate to China

A New History of the People's Republic and Hong Kong

Michael Sheridan
When Britain returned Hong Kong to China in 1997, both parties agreed that the city would retain self-government for 50 years. Drawing on interviews with key participants, Asia correspondent Michael Sheridan, who witnessed the handover, traces Chinese hostility to Western democracy back to the 19th-century Opium Wars. To explain why the ‘two systems’ agreement failed, he explores conflicting opinions within China’s communist leadership, and gives voice to Hong Kong dissidents.
