Reviews for The Dynamics of Beijing - Hong Kong Relations. A Model for Taiwan?.
This splendid book offers a vivid analytical delineation of the multi-faceted PRC central authorities of Hong Kong SAR interactive dynamics under the 'one country, two systems' formula. Illuminating this problematic center-region relationship with detailed case studies, Professor Lo's insightful work highlights the potentials as well as the limitations of this formula as actualized in Hong Kong to facilitate cross-Strait detente toward Beijing's much-cherished peaceful unification with Taiwan. Keen observers of Greater China development will benefit much from his masterful evaluation of the HKSAR experience's larger external strategic implications.
