Download Managing China's Sovereignty in Hong Kong and Taiwan Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Is China always defensive about its sovereignty issues? Does China see sovereignty essentially as 'absolute,' 'Victorian,' or 'Westphalian?' Sow Keat Tok suggests that Beijing has a more nuanced and flexible policy towards 'sovereignty' than previously assumed. By comparing China's changing policy towards Taiwan and Hong Kong, the author relates the role of previous conceptions of the world order in China's conception of modern 'sovereignty', thereby uncovers Beijing's deepest concern when dealing with its sovereignty issues.

A historical account of Taiwan-Hong Kong relations is provided, including projections for the possible future direction of these relations.

Download The Discourse and Practice of Sovereignty in the People's Republic of China Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This dissertation has two objectives: one, to dispel the "myth" and assumption that China holds on to an "absolute" view of sovereignty, and has arguably acted in accordance to this view; and two, to forward an alternative view of sovereignty as seen through Beijing's eyes. This dissertation argues that China's sovereignty is one which flexibly accommodates, at times voluntarily concedes, different mix of de facto rights according to each respective context and issue. This is attributed to China's historical experiences with the concept, as well as its discourses. When "sovereignty" was introduced into Chinese thinking, the result is a "view" of sovereignty which juxtaposed Chinese previous understanding of "supreme authority" with an interpretation of the Western concept of sovereignty. "Sovereignty," in this view, is essentially a de jure construct as its de facto component (or "right of governance") is purposely and effectively detached from the concept to serve the political needs of the regime. It thus approximates one grounded on graded rings of sovereignty, where authority emanates from the core, but each "level of sovereignty" is entrusted to exercise different "right of governance." As long as no overt challenge is posed to the idea that a single, de jure sovereignty-- more specifically understood as a nominal "supreme authority" --resides in Beijing, this Chinese view of sovereignty is upheld. A "light" constructivist approach which explores the relationship between norms, ideational structures, agency and "discursive formations" is applied to the case studies of Hong Kong (and Macao) and Taiwan to support the arguments in this dissertation. Chinese discourses on "sovereignty" were examined in details through analysing a large sample size of Chinese academic writings from 1980 till 2008, in addition to policy documents and announced official positions of the Chinese leadership. This is further augmented by analyses of Beijing's policy behaviours towards, in particular, Hong Kong's autonomy and Taiwan's international space.

The return of Hong Kong to China in July 1997 has the potential to benefit China's rapidly expanding economy. China's handling of the transition will have enormous implications for her international standing. This is the first study to analyse the serious problems and real opportunities that the return of the colony poses to China's international status. Examining the relationships between Greater China, Hong Kong and the West, Hong Kong: China's Challenge explores the challenges that Chinese policy makers face up to 1997 and beyond: the clash of political cultures; handling problematic negotiations; dealing with conflicting economic interests. The book concludes by suggesting that a laissez faire approach to the lucrative Hong Kong markets will ensure that China harnesses the full political and economic benefits of sovereignty over the colony.

Download China’s Influence and the Center-periphery Tug of War in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indo-Pacific Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Bringing together a team of cutting-edge researchers based in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indo-Pacific countries, this book focuses on the tug of war between China’s influence and forces of resistance in Hong Kong, Taiwan and selected countries in its surrounding jurisdictions. China’s influence has met growing defiance from citizens in Hong Kong and Taiwan who fear the extinction of their valued local identities. However, the book shows that resistance to China’s influence is a global phenomenon, varying in motivation and intensity from region to region and country to country depending on the forms of China’s influence and the balances of forces in each society. The book also advances a concentric center-periphery framework for comparing different forms of extra-jurisdictional Chinese influence mechanisms, ranging from economic, military and diplomatic influences to united front operations. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative politics, international relations, geopolitics, Chinese politics, Hong Kong-China relations, Taiwan and Asian politics.
