China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Inc. - Willem van Kemenade
KORTE INHOUD
On June 20, 1997, Hong Kong reverted to China after 99 years of British rule. This event marked the reunification of the old Chinese empire in a new world economic superpower. Since the early 1980s, investment money has been pouring into China from Hong Kong and trade has been escalating at rocket pace. A few years later, the same pattern began between China and Taiwan. The combination of Hong Kong/Taiwan management and financial know-how and China's inexhaustible pool of cheap labour has enabled China to leap from impoverished revolutionary state to major world trading power. But as China reclaims Hong Kong, it inherits a political city-state with democratic structures. Can China become the first totally post-political 'corporatist' superpower, while making itself impermeable to the 'spiritual pollution' of outside democratic values, human rights values and political freedom?
