New Publication:

“Underground Front: The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong

(By Christine Loh)

 

“Underground Front” is a pioneering examination of the role that the Chinese Communist Party has played in Hong Kong since the creation of the Party in 1921, through to the present day. This book brings events right up to date and includes the results of a survey about the Hong Kong public’s attitude towards the CCP. The numerous appendices on the key targets of the party’s united front activities also make it an especially useful read for all who are interested in Hong Kong history and politics, and readers who are interested in the history of modern China.


Christine Loh has been invited to various talks to introduce this new book. Please refer to the “Partner Events” section for details of the event.


Please also visit HKU Press website for more information.

Book Launch: “Underground Front: The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong

Writing about the Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong is bound to be a sensitive subject because its presence in Hong Kong is still meant to be a "secret", although one that everyone has known about for a very long time. Christine Loh’s exposition of the Communist Party’s co-optation and persuasion is particularly revealing for anyone not versed in communist-speak.
