| Summary |
This book examines Chinese Communist activities in Hong Kong from the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 to the handover in 1997. Hong Kong had occupied a unique position on the Communists' agenda. The Chinese Communists adopted a consistent united front policy and strove for alliance with Hong Kong's "big capitalists" who had been the chief targets of their effort. The history of the Chinese Communists in Hong Kong differed so much from that of their campaigns in mainland China. This book reveals a peculiar part of Chinese Communist history, and traces six decades of astounding united front between the Chinese Communists and the Hong Kong tycoons and upper-class business elite |
