520 1 $a"Dealing with the Dragon presents a fact-filled but always entertaining account - week-by-week, often day-by-day - of Hong Kong in the last year of the millenium, focusing on the crucial political, legal, and human battles that followed Britain's departure.
520 8 $aPredictions by some that this Far Eastern center of commerce and finance would be radically changed by its new rulers have proved largely unfounded; forecasts of tanks in the streets, violent clashes, and the disappearance of democracy were unrealistically dire.
520 8 $aFenby, a journalist with an eyewitness's knowledge of the teeming metropolis and the mainland, shows what actually occurred following the Chinese takeover, detailing major developments - such as Beijing's harsh policies over Taiwan and the outlawed spiritual group Falun Gong - to which foreign governments, including Washington, have preferred to shut their eyes."--BOOK JACKET.
