In actual fact, Beijing's stealth infiltration of Hong Kong began long before the territory's return, with United Front work targeting certain sectors of the population. In this episode, we delve deep into Hong Kong's history to pinpoint how Beijing used the cheongsam makers and policemen - among others - to infiltrate society.  Graeme is joined by Ho-fung Hung of Johns Hopkins University, author of City on the Edge: Hong Kong Under Chinese Rule, Newsweek journalist Didi Kirsten Tatlow, and for the first time as a guest, Louisa Lim, whose book Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong is now out.  Image: Black Bauhinia with wilted petals, c/- Jacky CTensd, Wikimedia Commons, 2019  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Graeme Smith and Louisa Lim, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
