The French Centre for Research on Contemporary China (CEFC) and Parenthèses Bookstore organise the presentation of the latest issue of China Perspectives (no. 137) : “Hong Kong in the 2020s: Reset amidst Challenges”, by Emilie Tran and Eric Sautedé.
“Hong Kong in the 2020s: Reset amidst Challenges” is a special feature published in July 2024 in China Perspectives 137. It examines the evolving political, social, and economic landscape of Hong Kong amidst significant changes in governance and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Adopting a mixed-method approach and a multidisciplinary perspective, the collection of articles delves into the latest developments since 2020. Key areas of analysis include the challenges of education and social integration, the ongoing housing crisis, and Hong Kong’s place branding strategies. By addressing these pressing issues, the articles aim to conceptualize Hong Kong’s evolving core values as it navigates a new era.
