Download Cultural Conflict in Hong Kong Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book examines how in navigating Hong Kong’s colonial history alongside its ever-present Chinese identity, the city has come to manifest a conflicting socio-cultural plurality. Drawing together scholars, critics, commentators, and creators on the vanguard of the emerging field of Hong Kong Studies, the essay volume presents a gyroscopic perspective that discerns what is made in from what is made into Hong Kong while weaving a patchwork of the territory’s contested local imaginary. This collection celebrates as it critiques the current state of Hong Kong society on the 20th anniversary of its handover to China. The gyroscopic outlook of the volume makes it a true area studies book-length treatment of Hong Kong, and a key and interdisciplinary read for students and scholars wishing to explore the territory’s complexities.

Download How Hong Kong's History as a Globalized City Has Created Tensions with a Culturally Hegemonic China Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Since its handover to China in 1997, the city of Hong Kong and the Chinese Communist Party have been embroiled in a cultural conflict. While there are many causes for the outbreak of conflict, one stands over the others: globalization. Throughout their history, China and Hong Kong have had drastically different relationships with globalization, with China pushing against some accepts to keep full control over its society, and Hong Kong being created by a globalized empire for purpose of global trade and embracing that economic niche. To prove the importance of globalization in this conflict, this thesis seeks to unravel the history both entities have had with globalization, pinpointing important political, economic, and cultural facets within both Hong Kong and China, and then relating them to the modern conflict. Examples include economic planning, governance style, and responses to modern culture. Ultimately the thesis attempts to prove how as our world becomes more and more globalized there will become an increasing number of conflicts between political entities that embrace globalization and those that push against it, with Hong Kong and China being the prime example.

Download Social Identity Conflict in Hong Kong Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In recent years, localism has been rising in Hong Kong. Several protest events in 2019 have brought people's attention back to focus on the issue of Hong Kong's identity. The Chinese identity in Hong Kong was questioned by Hong Kong society and experienced a plunge after protests. To understand factors that influence Chinese identity in Hong Kong, the current study divides Chinese identity into political and cultural Chinese identities to explore the influence of social-economic status and political inclination on Chinese identity in Hong Kong. Results indicate that Hong Kong citizens with democratic political attitudes have significantly lower Chinese identity, while the social-economic status was positively correlated with Chinese identity. Hong Kong citizens with higher social-economic status would be more likely to identify themselves as Chinese both politically and culturally. For the purpose of comparison, the study analyzes Hong Kong identity as well. Research results give support that political inclination is a significant indicator of both Chinese and Hong Kong identity.

Hong Kong’s ‘Umbrella Revolution’ has been widely regarded as a watershed moment in the polity’s post-1997 history. While public protest has long been a routine part of Hong Kong’s political culture, the preparedness of large numbers of citizens to participate in civil disobedience represented a new moment for Hong Kong society, reflecting both a very high level of politicisation and a deteriorating relationship with Beijing. The transformative processes underpinning the dramatic events of autumn 2014 have a wide relevance to scholarly debates on Hong Kong, China and the changing contours of world politics today. This book provides an accessible entry point into the political and social cleavages that underpinned, and were expressed through, the Umbrella Movement. A key focus is the societal context and issues that have led to growth in a Hong Kong identity and how this became highly politically charged during the Umbrella Movement. It is widely recognised that political and ethnic identity has become a key cleavage in Hong Kong society. But there is little agreement amongst citizens about what it means to ‘be Hong Konger’ today or whether this identity is compatible or conflicting with ‘being Chinese’. The book locates these identity cleavages within their historical context and uses a range of theories to understand these processes, including theories of nationalism, social identity, ethnic conflict, nativism and cosmopolitanism. This theoretical plurality allows the reader to see the new localism in its full diversity and complexity and to reflect on the evolving nature of Hong Kong’s relationship with Mainland China.

Ma looks at the ways in which the identity of Hong Kong citizens has changed in the 1990s especially since the handover to China in 1997. This is the first analysis which focuses on the role, in this process, of popular media in general and television in particular. The author specifically analyses at the relationship between television ideologies and cultural identities and explores the role of television in the process of identity formation and maintenance.

Challenging the wisdom about the way capitalism and colonialism joined forces to transform Hong Kong into one of the world's great cities, this book deploys case studies of the clash of interests between alien colonials and their Chinese constituents and the conflict between a pro-business government and its political and social responsibilities.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 1,3, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, language: English, abstract: In order to find out solutions for leadership and communication conflicts of Western expatriates in Asia, this paper examines cultural characteristics of the Asian, as well as Western, leader-follower construct and how miscommunication could occur. Furthermore, expected leadership styles are explained and which leadership traits and behaviors are desirable from the Asian point of view. Finally, improvement approaches for better cross-cultural conflict management and expatriate leadership in Asia are discussed, while pointing out their limitations. In an increasingly globalized world, it is more and more common to work in intercultural teams with intercultural leaders. This paper is about the problems that arise when leadership is not meeting the expectations in a particular culture and when conflicts are not managed with regard to the cultural backgrounds. Asian societies tend to be collectivist cultures, where conflicts are usually avoided and where harmony is the ultimate goal. In Western societies, conflict resolution is usually characterized by direct confrontation. Expectations to a leader also differ: In Asian societies, a paternalistic leadership approach seems to be more common, whereas in Western societies a participative leadership style is used. Awareness is the first step of a successful cross-cultural cooperation, but it does not give instructions how to act in a certain situation.

"A passionate, important study of the current affairs of a volatile region."-- Kirkus Reviews starred review The rise of Hong Kong is the story of a miraculous post-War boom, when Chinese refugees flocked to a small British colony, and, in less than fifty years, transformed it into one of the great financial centers of the world. The unraveling of Hong Kong, on the other hand, shatters the grand illusion of China ever having the intention of allowing democratic norms to take root inside its borders. Hong Kong's people were subjects of the British Empire for more than a hundred years, and now seem destined to remain the subordinates of today's greatest rising power. But although we are witnessing the death of Hong Kong as we know it, this is also the story of the biggest challenge to China's authoritarianism in 30 years. Activists who are passionately committed to defending the special qualities of a home they love are fighting against Beijing's crafty efforts to bring the city into its fold--of making it a centerpiece of its "Greater Bay Area" megalopolis. Jeffrey Wasserstrom, one of America's leading China specialists, draws on his many visits to the city, and knowledge of the history of repression and resistance, to help us understand the deep roots and the broad significance of the events we see unfolding day by day in Hong Kong. The result is a riveting tale of tragedy but also heroism--one of the great David-versus-Goliath battles of our time, pitting determined street protesters against the intransigence of Xi Jinping, the most ambitious leader of China since the days of Mao.
