Underground Front – The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong

Time to note Christine Loh’s Underground Front – The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong, which is a great book, and now out in paperback, about a subject little covered in English (though quite well covered in Chinese in Hong Kong). Loh, of course, is a well known politician and activist in Hong Kong who runs Civic Exchange (where she found the time to write this I do not know!). As usual here’s the blurb:

• 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

• 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 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.
