Description
"Dealing with the Dragon presents a fact-filled but always entertaining account - week-by-week, often day-by-day - of Hong Kong in the last year of the millenium, focusing on the crucial political, legal, and human battles that followed Britain's departure. Predictions by some that this Far Eastern center of commerce and finance would be radically changed by its new rulers have proved largely unfounded; forecasts of tanks in the streets, violent clashes, and the disappearance of democracy were unrealistically dire. Fenby, a journalist with an eyewitness's knowledge of the teeming metropolis and the mainland, shows what actually occurred following the Chinese takeover, detailing major developments - such as Beijing's harsh policies over Taiwan and the outlawed spiritual group Falun Gong - to which foreign governments, including Washington, have preferred to shut their eyes."--BOOK JACKET.
