Abstract
Analysts of the 1997 conundrum have usually taken Hong Kong as their point of departure. Foremost on their minds are questions such as whether Beijing will abide by the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration (JDHK) and whether the Basic Law of Hong Kong will guarantee the territory a high degree of autonomy. This chapter will look at the Hong Kong transition to Chinese rule from Beijing’s perspective. How does the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo plot its Hong Kong strategy? What are the Chinese government’s1 goals and priorities? Most important, what kind of mainland personnel will the CCP administration put in place in the Special Administrative Region (SAR) to achieve these objectives?
