Its vulnerability stemmed as much from Britain's imperial decline and America's Cold War requirements as from an imminent Chinese threat. This is the first scholarly study that explores the interactions of British and US policies towards Hong Kong, and reveals the dynamics of the Anglo-American alliance and the dilemmas of small allies in the global Cold War.Oxford historical monographs.Cold WarHong Kong (China)Politics and governmentGreat BritainForeign relations1945-Hong Kong (China)Foreign relationsUnited StatesHong Kong (China)Foreign relationsGreat BritainHong Kong (China)Foreign relationsChinaCold War.909.82Mark Chi-Kwan1134709MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959253803321Hong Kong and the Cold War4354156UNINA
