In June 1997 China will retake control of Hong Kong from Great Britain, an event certain to generate tension over a free press, a representative legislature, and other democratic institutions now in place. In this insightful, authoritative analysis, the authors examine Chinese foreign policy, from Mao to the present, as a search for security with motives similar to those of other states. Maps.
