Journal Article
The China Quarterly
2008
Overview
Topics which are covered are the (non-)development of democracy; the degree of satisfaction of the people with their leaders; mainlandHong Kong relations and Hong Kongs position at the interface between China and the world; the position of labour and the possibility of class struggle; income inequality; social welfare provision for the elderly; failure to plan; the environment; education; housing; transport and health. Given the strong economic bent of the book, it is odd that there is little reference to industry (the paper by Lok Sang Ho protests that it is a myth that Hong Kong has hardly any manufacturing activities, but that is about all he has to say about it); tourism the stock market, shipping, and financial services are apparently deemed to be of little interest either. [...]Lo reinforces previous recommendations for Macaus future. [...]this book presents little that is new in the big picture but is very useful as an update and initial assessment of Macau in the early post-Portuguese years.
