The Fall of Hong Kong by Mark Roberti

Covering the crucial period since 1978 when Britain and China negotiated the treaty that spelled out how Hong Kong would be run after 1997, this investigative work takes the reader into the corridors of power in London, Hong Kong and Beijing, and presents a wealth of new information to suggest that Britain failed to get adequate safeguards for her colony. It raises fundamental questions about the morality and viability of the pact between Britain and China, and deals with the critical issues of what will happen to this powerful trading centre when it comes under the control of the world's largest communist country, how it will effect its economic and civil structure and, most importantly, what will happen to Hong Kong's 5.5 million citizens.
