Description

After ruling Hong Kong for 155 years, what did the British leave behind when they withdrew at midnight on 30 June 1997? C. K. Lau answers this question for the lay reader. Whether you are a long-time resident or merely a newcomer to the territory, Hong Kong's colonial legacy promises to deepen your understanding of this Pearl of the Orient. Questions this book tackles include:
  • What is the attitude of Hong Kong Chinese towards British rule and the resumption of Chinese sovereignty?
  • Why have most of them failed to master English despite a century and a half of colonial rule?
  • What is the future of the common law after 1997? What do Hong Kong's leaders mean by "executive-led government"?
  • What is Hong Kong's recipe for economic success?
  • What is the future of press freedom in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region?

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
