Underground Front: The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong [Mar-19; Helena May]
Underground Front is a pioneering work, filled with examples of the role that the Chinese Communist Party has played in Hong Kong since its creation in 1921.
Now CEO of the non-profit public policy think tank, Civic Exchange, as a democracy activist in her youth, and then as legislator, Christine Loh had a ringside seat to political events in Hong Kong in the run up to 1997 and beyond. In this talk, moderated by Kyoko Altman, she gives a personal view of her longstanding fascination with Marxism, how she went about writing the book, what was interesting, and the reaction to the book and whether she was wise to touch the subject. Coffee and snacks from 10:30am; the talk will begin at 11:00am.
