Abstract
 |
‘Although the author calls herself an “outsider”, this book provides such a distinctly incisive analysis that even an “insider” will pale by comparison.
Christine Loh’s exposition of the Communist Party’s co-optation and persuasion is particularly revealing for anyone not versed in communist-speak. A must read for anyone who cares for Hong Kong – simply because the Communist Party in Hong Kong is a heavyweight player in shaping our future.’ – Ching Cheong
‘Authoritative, thoroughly researched and lucidly written, Christine Loh’s new work must be read by everyone who wants to make sense of the Chinese Communist Party’s agenda in Hong Kong……’ – Leo Goodstadt
Biography
 |
Christine Loh is the CEO of the public policy think tank, Civic Exchange. A former legislator, she had a ringside seat to political events in Hong Kong in the run-up to 1997 and immediately beyond the transition. She was the first, and only one to date, to raise a debate in 1995 about how the Chinese Communist Party would operate post-1997 for which she was pilloried by opponents. Christine Loh is a lawyer by training and became a politician in 1992. Since her retirement from politics in 2000, she has concentrated on policy research and is a published author of many works.
