Bullets and Opium + The Gate to China - Liao Yiwu, Michael Sheridan Audiobook
Shared by:cryotag
For over seven years, Liao Yiwu—a master of contemporary Chinese literature, imprisoned and persecuted as a counter-revolutionary until he fled the country in 2011—secretly interviewed survivors of the devastating 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Tortured, imprisoned, and forced into silence and the margins of Chinese society for thirty years, their harrowing stories are now finally revealed in this gripping and masterful work of investigative journalism.
******************************************
A delightful piece of writing and research which describes the remarkable history behind the handover of this unique and exciting city’ Jasper Becker
‘Deeply researched and beautifully written’ Mike Chinoy
A superb new history of the rise of China and the fall of Hong Kong to authoritarian rule.
The rise of China and the fall of Hong Kong to authoritarian rule are told with unique insight in this new history by Michael Sheridan, drawing on eyewitness reporting over three decades, interviews with key figures and documents from archives in China and the West.
The story sweeps the reader from the earliest days of trade through the Opium Wars of the 19th century to the age of globalisation and the handover of Hong Kong from Britain to China. It ends with the battle for democracy on the city’s streets and the ultimate victory of the Chinese Communist Party.
How did it come to this? We learn from private papers that Margaret Thatcher anguished over the fate of Hong Kong, sought secret American briefings on how to handle China and put her trust in an adviser who was torn between duty and pride. The deal they made with Beijing did not last.
The Chinese side of this history, so often unheard, emerges from memoirs and documents, many new to the foreign reader, revealing how the party’s iron will and negotiating tactics crushed its opponents. Yet the voices of Hong Kong people - eloquent, smart and bold - speak out here for ideals that refuse to die.
Sheridan’s book tells how Hong Kong opened the way for the People’s Republic as it reformed its economy and changed the world, emerging to challenge the West with a new order that raises fundamental questions about progress, identity and freedom. It is critical reading for all who study, trade or deal with China. (

Call me Mr cynical, but there was always something dubious about the prospect of the Chinese Communist Party courageously upholding individual, legal, civil & political rights & liberties. Guaranteeing the rule of law? Fundamental human rights? Ah, here. To see the future, look to the past - to Tiananmen.
October 24th, 2021
Thank you!

@caesar963: absolutely no one who is in the slightest familiar with China trusts the CCP to uphold any rights except their own. That’s why Hong Kong was protesting since 2014, as China methodically dismantled their rights and what little democracy there was. But as Mao said, power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Too true.

Ah, Hong Kong, a wonderful case of buyer’s remorse if ever there was one.
The Hong Kongers couldn’t wait to send the British packing and embrace their newfound riches until they realized what anyone who has ever crossed the border into China could have told them, there’s no money there except in a tiny number of hands.
Having said that…
The fundamental disconnect the West and China have is this, the average Chinese person does not want more individual rights, they place a premium on societal harmony that we, at least until recently, do not share.
The individual doesn’t come first, the nation does.
I’ve never been China’s biggest fan, even when I lived there, but the West’s insistence on fundamental human rights has long grown thin.
Rendition of people in the “war on terror” so they could be tortured in other countries. Wars of terror on countries that posed no threat such as Iraq and Afghanistan. And now? The Draconian Covid restrictions of the West? We’re not free, how can we demand, with a straight face, that anyone else behave better than us?
Thanks for this though OP. I am looking forward to reading it.

GordonCoon, Dude. I was with you there. You seemed so thoughtful, had me giving a slow nod of the head. Gordoon, it felt so real with you.
THEN YOU GOT WIERD DUDE. Draconian Covid restrictions?! Really.
You Had to Go There? what is it? fear of intimacy.
No. I mean, Maybe? But I think I know the truth. I was falling for a Bot.

Ah yes, imagine being so dumb that you want freedom for others but not for your fellow countrymen and then realize that if you’re not imagining that but you really believe it, you’re JustRandy.
